Focus Friday - Fake Tree Cell Phone Towers

Blog Blog

Friday, Nov 18 2011 by

There is often local opposition to new cell phone masts for reasons of safety and appearance. The latter is sometimes tackled by disguising the mast as something else, such as a flag pole, street lamp, or a tree (i.e. palm trees, pine trees, cypress..) or rooftop structures or urban features such as chimneys or panels.

These concealed cell sites can distinguish themselves by foliage shape and bark type. The foliage of all these antennas is composed of leaves made of plastic material accurately designed, taking into consideration quantity, shape and array suitable to completely conceal the antennas and all accessory parts in a natural manner. The materials used guarantee absolute radio-electric transparency and resistance to UVA rays. Nicknames include “monopalm” for a monopole disguised as a palm tree or “Pseudpinus telephoneyensis” for a mast disguised as a pine tree.
