Maintaining communication between rescue groups, law enforcement and loved ones is top priority during periods of intense weather.
One of the best ways to achieve this is to deploy a Cell on Wheels or Site on Wheels around locations where fixed communication towers have been damaged or are at full capacity. For remote rescue operations and emergency camp sites, the temporary structures provide extended coverage in areas outside of the network.
How Does it Work?
Portable communication towers are mounted on trailers or carts for seamless deployment in remote areas without stable foundations. They can be extended to elevated positions for robust coverage, using an electric or manual winch (depending on the unit). This feature decreases climbing hazards associated with permanent communication masts.
Benefits of Using a Site on Wheels
Widespread coverage in devastated locations and remote camp sites is the main benefit of using a portable communication mast. Additionally, these colossal towers offer the following:
- Improve productivity and execution of rescue campaigns
- No need for installation permits, certificates or licensing
- Boost communication during concerts, outdoor conferences and gatherings
- Extend communication capacity in far-flung work sites
Where Can I Buy One?
Larson Electronics offers several types of mobile communication towers for rugged applications. These units can reach heights between 12 feet and 30 feet, with some variants capable of reaching up to 65 feet! Constructed of powder-coated steel, the site on wheels come in a variety of mounting options: trailer, cart or stand-alone (no mount). For mounting equipment, some units feature a sturdy 2’x2’ base at the top of the mast.
