In Action: Cold Bonding Cell Antennae Mounts
Increasing the coverage:
The Cellular/Mobile Phone Network continues to expand at an exponential rate, as the battle for who can provide the fastest and most widespread coverage, wages on. In 2010, the four biggest carriers in the U.S. (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint) averaged a collective download speed of around 5Mbps, whereas now some networks can boast up to 200Mbps. This increase shows no sign of slowing and has also presented an opportunity for the deployment of polymeric solutions in the Telecommunications industry. This has been proven by one of Belzona’s US Distributors (Belzona Technology Washington LLC) who has had major success from cold bonding cell phone antennae mounts on to tanks and other structures.
Problem:
Telecommunications companies attach cell antennae on to the top and sides of water tanks. Many water tank owners require an alternative to welding cell antennae mounting brackets because it will damage the interior coating. In addition, bolting is not feasible and magnets are a very expensive and untested option. So, a cold-applied and proven solution is required, which can support the weight of the antennae.
