The COWs (Cell On Wheels) telecommunications tower is a self-sufficient mobile unit with excellent mobility and rapid deployment capabilities within two hours. Equipped with a retractable mast system, it can reach a maximum height of 35 meters, support heavy loads, and requires no foundation, only a counterweight. It can withstand wind speeds up to 180 km/h and has ample deck space for attaching equipment, making it suitable for temporary or emergency communication scenarios. It enables rapid and flexible wireless network coverage when a fixed communication infrastructure cannot be built, is damaged, or is unavailable.
Features of COWs
COWs are independent units with:
| 1. Their own power source – a generator |
| 2. An additional fuel tank for additional fuel supply |
| 3. In the case of an outdoor unit, a shelter or BTS frame |
| 4. Large deck space for additional equipment, promotional booths, etc. |
| 5. Telescopic systems (lowering and raising systems, vertical and horizontal systems) |
| 6. RRU support poles |
| 7. Wire cage ladder (shelter) |
| 8. Electronic control box |
| 9. Toolbox |
| 10. Lightning arrester system |
Advantages of COWs
1.No foundation required(just need counterweight block or sandstone steel frame).
2. Excellent mobility.
3. Fast Deployment – 2hr(3-4 persons)
4. max design wind speed 180KMPH
5. Ability to reach the destination quickly
6. Could lock at multiple heights.
7. Advertising space on shelter sides.
8. Could be used as a disaster recovery unit.
9. Capable of carrying a heavy load.
10. Just need a small land space for the location.

FAQ
Q: 1. What is the difference between COWs and fixed communication base stations?
A: Cell On Wheels are mobile, rapidly deployable communication base stations suitable for temporary or emergency scenarios, while fixed base stations require permanent foundation construction and have a longer construction period. COWs can be put into use in a short time, effectively supplementing fixed base stations.
Q: 2. How long does COWs deployment typically take?
A: Under favorable site conditions, Cell On Wheels can typically be deployed and basic commissioning completed within hours, significantly shortening the deployment cycle for communication coverage.
Q: 3. Can COWs be customized to project requirements?
A: Yes. Cell On Wheels supports OEM and ODM customization services, including tower height, load-bearing capacity, power configuration, trailer structure, and equipment installation methods, meeting the needs of different application scenarios.
Q: 4. Are COWs suitable for use in high-temperature or harsh environments?
A: Yes. Cell On Wheels are designed with outdoor environments in mind, adapting to high temperatures, sandstorms, and complex climatic conditions, making them suitable for deployment in regions such as the Middle East and Africa.
Q: 5. Are COWs difficult to maintain and operate?
A: Cell On Wheels utilizes a mature mechanical structure and modular design, making operation simple and requiring minimal daily maintenance, which can be performed by personnel with minimal training.
Q: 6. Do COWs come with a warranty and technical support?
A: All Cell On Wheels products come with a standard warranty and are accompanied by comprehensive technical support and after-sales service to ensure reliable operation of the equipment during use.
