Substantial Savings with Composite Poles A Tier 1 Carrier recently calculated that by replacing traditional infrastructure with EasyStreet Systems? FRP poles, they are reducing: ? Site preparation and construction costs by up to 30% ? Maintenance budgets by 20-40% ? Deployment times by weeks These savings are not just financial—they also translate into faster, broader network coverage for customers, enabling better connectivity in urban, suburban, and rural areas alike. This image of our latest installation shows how easy it is to make modifications and additions to a composite pole in the field using simple hand tools.

Top 5 Reasons Composite Poles are Better 1. Lightweight, Durable Materials EasyStreet Systems? Fiberglass-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) poles are up to 70% lighter than traditional steel poles with equivalent strength. This weight reduction translates to: ● Lower transportation costs ● Faster installation times ● Reduced need for heavy equipment 2. Simplified Installation Due to modular design and lightweight construction, these poles can be installed with smaller crews and lighter-duty equipment. This reduces labor costs and accelerates deployment timelines, especially in hard-to-reach areas. 3. Reduced Maintenance and Longer Lifespan Unlike steel or wood poles, FRP poles are naturally resistant to corrosion, rot and harsh environments as found in coastal or industrial regions. This reduces ongoing maintenance and extends the lifespan of the infrastructure for long-term savings. 4. Easier Permitting EasyStreet’s solutions are designed with compliance in mind. The flexibility and aesthetic adaptability of FRP poles help carriers meet permitting requirements more easily, reducing delays and associated costs. 5. Versatility for Modern Networks From supporting small cells to enabling IoT and smart city deployments, these poles are built to handle the demands of modern telecommunications networks. Carriers gain a future-ready solution that minimizes the need for frequent upgrades.

Mid-Cell Install Using Composite Poles a Success “I wanted to give you an update on the status of the mid-cell project we've been working on. I was impressed at the ease, speed, and efficiency of the pole installation. Your product could save us tens of thousands of dollars per install based on the time, ease, and simplicity we saw. And if the pole is ever knocked out in an accident, I could envision us fixing it in a day or two rather than the weeks we are currently seeing. Our GC also was very impressed with how things went. I envision us making the EasyStreet pole a center point in our small and mid-cell deployments in the near future.” -From a Tier 1 Carrier, Mid-Atlantic Region USA, November 2024

Very interesting comparison. Nicely done, Sam!

We often get asked about how we stack up against wood poles, so let's dive into the overall total cost of ownership. If you're not leveraging EasyStreet Systems solutions yet, you are backing up and might need to rethink your strategy! In the realm of infrastructure, material choice is paramount. Our Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) poles offer a compelling alternative to wood poles, ensuring efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and longevity for projects. Here's a breakdown: - **Capital Expenditures**: - FRP Pultruded Poles: Higher initial cost but significant long-term savings due to durability and low maintenance, with a lifespan of up to 75 years. - Wood Poles: Lower upfront cost but shorter lifespan (30-40 years) leading to more frequent replacements. - **Operational Expenditure**: - FRP Pultruded Poles: Minimal maintenance due to resistance to rot, corrosion, and insects, reducing Opex over the pole's lifecycle. - Wood Poles: Prone to rot and pests, requiring higher maintenance and regular treatments. - **Construction/Civil**: - FRP Pultruded Poles: Lighter weight for easier transportation and installation, ensuring safety and reducing costs. - Wood Poles: Heavier with higher costs, environmental impact, and risks associated with chemical treatments. - **Chemical Treatments**: - FRP Pultruded Poles: Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, eliminating the need for chemical treatments. - Wood Poles: Require chemical preservatives, posing environmental and health risks. In conclusion, EasyStreet Systems' FRP pultruded poles outshine wood poles in total cost of ownership and sustainability. With reduced maintenance needs, longer lifespan, and easy installation, FRP poles are a forward-thinking choice for modern infrastructure projects.

EasyStreet installations are in some pretty special places. This one is at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. A major league matchup today between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants will reintroduce Rickwood to millions in a tribute to the Negro Leagues. Rickwood is older than both Wrigley Field and Fenway Park – indeed it is the oldest venue for professional baseball in the United States. It is one of two remaining Negro League parks. It has – in a testament to its historical breadth – hosted within its walls 181 of the 351 total Hall of Famers, whether players, managers or operators of teams. On the playing side, the list includes true pantheon dwellers of the sport: Willie Mays, Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Cool Papa Bell, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Rogers Hornsby, Reggie Jackson, Stan Musial, Ernie Banks, Dizzy Dean, Rollie Fingers. (CBS) Rickwood was built for the Birmingham Barons in 1910 by industrialist and team-owner Rick Woodward and has served as the home park for the Birmingham Barons and the Birmingham Black Barons. The installation includes a direct-buried EasyStreet pole installed by two people in less than two hours, which included attachment of the RF top-shroud (not pictured). EasyStreet provides composite support structures for 5G, IoT, lighting, security and other custom uses. #rickwood #legends #composites
