Innovative Tilt-up Wireless Internet Tower

Showing how a two man crew can quickly and easily setup Wilderness Wireless' innovative tilt-up tower design.

Tie-wraps will only last about 1 year. UV light makes them brittle. Use #12 solid copper as a twist tie.

mine has lasted over 10 years

Nice video thanks , How big are the three pipes ?

[@bellou596]

Very cool.

[@user-mc6cl8bz6n]

Got a question how tall was the steel beam used to to slip the tower over 10 foot ?

[@chadcarter4546]

Looks like another company got into the wireless game with little knowledge. Tie-wraps are for temporary installs. Could of used metal tie-wraps. The point to point dish is to close to ground. Will have interference from ground refletions. Also a big truck could block link. Instead of using flex counxuit, just use rigid conduit with metal stand-offs. No one should climb a tower held down with concrete blocks that is that high. Looks like climber was scared. He looks like he was making love to tower. I see installations like this all the time. So sad no one wants to learn how to do it correct. Was there even grounding done on tower? You all tried your best.

[@user-mc6cl8bz6n]

Well im a cb radio guy and this just gave me a few ideal of what not to do lol. 😂😊

[@theonlinetipsters1913]

This is awesome. Is there a way to build one of these towers?

[@davidbrittenham4631]

Uh...you just saw it done! Or did you mean the support? Dimensions would not be critical. Any welding shop could build that in a day or less with just a picture to guide them, and dimensions on a Rohn 25 tower. My question is stability. There must not be any wind where that's installed. Something like that would last about 1/2 of a good storm here in the Ozarks. What I'd like to know is why they climbed it after it was up. The whole point of a tiltover tower is so you can bring the work to ground level. Heck, one man could have set 50' of tower with that bucket truck, or even done the installation at the top with it. Absolutely no reason to have climbed that tower. Nothing about this video is safe, or smart.

[@chrishorne2740]

Weld that rig to the top end of a shipping container and pivot a 40' over the top of your new ham shack...

[@smbathovhannisyan7914]

Great

[@larryjanson4011]

all that good work and they go very cheap, on cheap plastic wire ties. even using the wire out of regular house cabling is far better. but i like your temp stand.

[@bentheguru4986]

That stand is temporary only, far from stable. Put hole in ground, fill with concrete and rebar. 30' height is SFA for a PtMP setup and as pointed out, the backhaul gear too close to ground.

[@dubskulls9554]

I’ll like one where I live

[@stareyes786]

Hi, I know I'm like 3 yrs late, but when can I buy these tower links ????

[@stareyes786]

Meant ... where can I buy these tower links ???

[@zakariafarah1101]

Are plenty of suppliers around the globe, Google for "guyed towers"

[@grampsradio]

They are Rohn tower sections. Google them.

[@kilroy205]

30' pfft. hinge plate and pully on the would been simple

[@user-hx3ev3ng5g]

Starlink just made that obsolete.

[@Norentis]

"the design of the stable platform..." Puts bricks on it to stabilize it lol

[@510BIGD]

It would be to bad if they covered Mt.home, ID.. Only two internet companies that service and NOBODY like or wants there service

[@WW5RM]

Why climb it if it tilts over? Brainiacs!

[@bentheguru4986]

Too much weight on head to tilt up....

[@WW5RM]

@@bentheguru4986 please! Those little antennas don't weigh crap! If it was a 10 Meter or larger vertical yeah. The main reason for tilt over is so you don't have to climb it! All they had to do was sit the top end on a step ladder, install the antennas and both of them pull it up! Done! We just built a hinge base and 20ft support structure for 60ft of Rohn 25 with 10 ft stinger for a 20 plus foot vertical 11M antenna! Thats 90ft total length. Yeah we used a hand winch to raise it but they could do the same and remove the winch if they needed to. Way to many people have died climbing towers when they didn't have to!

[@bentheguru4986]

@@WW5RM I remember why I ditched my amature ticket many years ago, too many opinions. Stick to your HF and leave microwave to others. The guys barely had enough weight to stand it, extra 20 kilos of gear on head was going to be a no-go. The whole setup is not a real great option, just a PR video.

[@WW5RM]

@@bentheguru4986 we raise 2M antenna the same way! They way much more than those tiny antenna! We do this similar setup all the time! It's not an opinion! It's hands on experience!

@@bentheguru4986 20 kilos? A 10M vertical doesnt weigh 20 kilos! Damn! I'm glad you left Ham radio! You are clueless!

Rule number 1 of tower install, Never put i near a power line.

[@CarlJohnson-km8zr]

im getting ready to put up a 120' right at 160' away from service lines that run my city.

[@McGyver777ATGMAIL]

If only, topology said I'd need 80ft towers due to ground clearance and the cable company wants $28,000 to run new fiber out to the farm. So, no internet that isn't wireless for my folks for the foreseeable future. Sucks though cause if I could find a way to do it I'd put up two towers and just beam it the 2.9 miles to their house...they don't game and only want it for tv reasons. If anyone has an idea about a tower solution that wouldn't be in the thousands of dollars let me know....so far two 80foot towers are cost prohibitive.

[@Grogdor]

If you can gain access to the 3mi between, trench or hang some fiber. It's pretty cheap these days and media converters for 1Gbps or 10Gbps are plentiful. The link is electrically isolated so no lighting risk, grounding funk or other noise.
