The appearance of masts or cell towers can vary widely depending on factors such as their location, purpose, and the specific requirements of the mobile network operator. Here are some common types of mast appearances:-
Roof-Top Pole:
A roof-top pole is a relatively small, vertical structure mounted on the roof of a building or other elevated structure.
These poles are typically used to support antennas for wireless communication.
Roof-top poles are often designed to be low-profile and blend into the building's architecture.
Roof-Top Tower:
A roof-top tower is a larger structure mounted on the roof of a building, usually with a lattice or monopole design.
These towers are taller than roof-top poles and may support multiple antennas for different wireless technologies.
Roof-top towers are commonly used in urban areas where space is limited and building rooftops offer elevated locations for improved signal coverage.
Ground-Based Tower:
A ground-based tower is a freestanding structure installed on the ground, typically in open spaces or on private property.
Ground-based towers are often used in rural areas or locations where there are no suitable existing structures for mounting antennas.
Ground-Based Pole:
A ground-based pole is a vertical structure installed directly into the ground, usually made of steel, wood or concrete.
These poles are often shorter than towers and may support a smaller number of antennas.
Ground-based poles are commonly used in various settings, including urban areas, highways, parks, and industrial sites, to provide wireless coverage.
Each type of mast appearance serves specific needs based on factors such as available space, aesthetics, engineering requirements, and the desired coverage area. Additionally, regulatory considerations and local zoning regulations may influence the choice of mast appearance in a particular location.
