To stay connected with friends and family on a mobile phone, a signal is required to connect the device to a network. To produce the signal for this type of reception, cellular towers are built through the process of cellular tower construction. Minnesota is home to roughly 500 cell towers with reliable contractors throughout the state that keep them serviced and running properly through regular maintenance and inspection.
Construction of Cellular Towers Provides an Important Signal
A cellular tower is usually constructed into a lattice or steel pole structure that is built hundreds of feet into the air. These cell towers tend to be grouped in highly populated areas where there are the most potential for users. When a call is made, the mobile phone or modem radios a tower. Certain steps occur to gain reception, including:
* In the first step, the mobile phone/modem sends a message via radio that is then picked up by an arrangement of radio antennas.
* After the signal is picked up, a wire or fiber-optic line carries the call to the wireless access point, which is connected to a switch with multiple ports.
* Once it is connected to the switch, the call is then routed to a backhaul, which is a link between the core network and the smaller sub-networks.
* Finally, the incoming call or data comes back from the backhaul and up through the switch to the antenna, where it then hits your phone via a wireless connection.
If you move throughout the area of the cell site during the connection, a new cellular tower will transmit the data to your phone. cellular tower construction plays a crucial role is providing a strong and constant signal.
Concealment of Towers to Maintain Natural Scenery
Although cell towers provide a reliable signal to help keep people connected, sometimes they are viewed as unsightly by people in the area or by business owners. To maintain proper cell site location, without losing the beauty of the scenery or drawing attention, contractors can put in water tower or stealth sights.
Towers can be disguised as flag poles, streets lamps, or trees. Using UVA ray and radio electric resistant plastics to create foliage, they can conceal antennas and other accessory parts. Rooftop sites can be concealed with a chimney or series of panels.
