I appreciate the info. The guy is is insistent on this structure, I am not. But he does have some money. From what I see they look cheesy, at least online. But what do you do

Because of the "branches" coming off of the main mast you have increased wind loading which means beefier pole and larger/deeper foundation. 2. At wifi freqs (2.4 and 5 Ghz) there is no real concern. At licensed freqs especially 23/24 Ghz you will need "branches and leaves" that are RF adapted for the spectrum. Standard branches will attenuate the heck out of your signal at higher freqs. 3. They are a PITA to work on. You need a manlift or large bucket truck to get access to antennas, etc. Its almost impossible to use a crane with a suspended manbasket. Some are climbable but they still suck to work on. You should count on spending 20-30% more than you would on a standard monopole. Go back to the tower design if you can unless of course you have deep pockets.... -B- On 12/30/2013 6:18 PM, heith petersen wrote: Curious is anyone has deployed a decoy tower, palm tree looking, with decent success and who is a good distributor/manufacturer. I have never seen one in person and we have a situation where we don’t really need one but would likely look a lot better than a traditional tower thanks heith _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
