Cost-Effective Infrastructure: Why 3-Legged Lattice Towers Are Ideal for Large-Scale Network Rollouts ?
As telecommunication providers race to expand network coverage—whether for 4G, 5G, or future technologies—the choice of infrastructure plays a critical role in determining the speed, cost, and long-term viability of large-scale rollouts. Among the available options, 3-legged lattice towers stand out as a proven, cost-effective solution for bridging vast urban and rural areas. This blog explores the structural, logistical, and economic factors that make these towers ideal for massive network deployments. 1. The Challenge of Large-Scale Network Rollouts Deploying thousands of towers across diverse terrains requires balancing three key constraints: Capital Expenditure (CAPEX): High upfront costs for materials, transportation, and installation. Operational Expenditure (OPEX): Ongoing maintenance, energy consumption, and site management. Scalability: The ability to rapidly scale infrastructure without compromising reliability. Traditional monopoles or tubul...
