Introduction

GreenBird Electric Solutions Inc. in association with Far Field Telecom LLC. (FFTGB) brings the smart city industry an optimized structure that respectfully utilizes space within the public realm. To minimize the intrusiveness of antenna and equipment installations and the overall amount of oDAS and small cell sites, it is essential that each structure be utilized as efficiently as possible.

The cornerstone product created by the FFT is the Patent Pending line of Radio Concealment Poles(RCP). The basis of the design was to create flexibility by offering the most usable interior volume for public mesh network Wi-Fi, commercial wireless, public safety equipment, and city infrastructure installations while simultaneously promoting ease of access for equipment maintenance and flexibility for installation of future technologies.

The result is a structure with true multi-technology and/or multi-carrier potential, easily adaptable to any location, and able to accept next-generation equipment. Cities can realize the full benefit of flexibility to seamlessly deploy both today’s and future technologies. To achieve full 5G coverage, experts estimate the need for 150 to 300 sites per square mile. To achieve maximum public benefit and create uniformity, cities should encourage co-location of wireless carriers and smart city infrastructure. Deploying technologies without uniformity will lead to the proliferation of varied infrastructure installations (street clutter) without consideration to optimizing public benefit which ultimately increases disturbances to the city and compromises the future potential of a true, uniform, IOT solution for generations to come.

The RCP gives cities the ability to proactively promote collocation of technologies to expedite technological advancement while mitigating public impact.

Installation & Maintenance

LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION

The RCP is modular and lightweight. Field installation can be done by a small crew using basic hand tools and without the rental and use of a crane or other heavy equipment. In many instances, street closures may not be needed avoiding MOT/MPT expenses and minimizing traffic interruption.

The articulating doors open completely allowing easy access to equipment and cabling. The internal structural face frames are easily removable facilitating installation or replacement of equipment and cabling. Both features were designed specifically to reduce installation and maintenance time and cost. The continuous interlocking hinge doors keep vandals out while keeping equipment in, in the event of a vehicular collision.

REDUCTION OF CLUTTER 

To achieve full 5G coverage, experts estimate the need for 75 to 150 sites, per carrier, per square km. To achieve maximum public benefit and create uniformity, cities should encourage co-location of wireless carriers and smart city infrastructure. Deploying technologies without uniformity will lead to the proliferation of varied infrastructure installations (street clutter) without consideration to optimizing public benefit which ultimately increases disturbances to the city and compromises the future potential of a true, uniform, IoT solution for generations to come.
