Cellular on wheels (COW) is a portable mobile cellular site that provides temporary network connectivity to locations where cellular coverage is unavailable,minimal or compromised.It provides fully-functional service, via vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and vans etc.to areas affected by natural disaster or areas with large user volume, such a selection meetings, matches,etc. It also provides additional backup network for important events in case regular failure of networks
There are many sizes of COW each designed for different needs, including easy access, more strength or more stability. The smallest versions sit on trailers that can be pulled by nearly any standard truck, whereas the largest versions of a (COW) require a heavy-duty rig to tow and set up the tower.This installation system requires low bed truck for mounting DG bed, workspace for ODBTs, and space for tower erection,where the tower is also fixed toa steel portal using Channel sections. Depending upon the height of tower required (15m to 21m), the design is done so that the entire tower will be mounted on the truck in horizontal position (3m to 6m long) and the rest height will be telescopically inserted. The top 3m portion will be mounted with GSM and MW antennas in horizontal position. The rest is transported in a horizontal position. The tower will be designed as a guy tower with number of guys installed from stability criteria. The guys will be connected to the ground on counter weights fixed from extended steel arms (truss type).Erection will be done by self erecting mechanism in the field.
Jhamuna Tower Tech has the original license software for analyzing this type of guy towers and to determine the forces on guys accurately using linear /nonlinear analysis (ANSYS) software. The design of the tower is based on various codes such as ANSI/TIA-222-G/H,IS:875-2015, IS:800-2007,ASCE -10 and Eurocode 3(BSEN 1993-3-1:2006.The detailed engineering is available in house for various wind speeds and terrain categories.
