A Sad Little Monopine

I can t see any panels what are you talking about lol

Lol it does look like charlie brows tree lol

They spent so much money on getting that camouflage up but they could have just put those panels on a normal monopole.

Andy: So right, but unlikely to have received the same approval.

It's the small things that make a big difference. I'm sure this site was, during the planning phase, described as a fully camouflaged design.

As a wireless planner for governments, one of the reasons I hold out for very detailed designs and photo sims is to ensure that the project proposed and the project as constructed match up. I realize it drives the carriers a bit crazy, but avoiding a result like this site is a good reason to stick to our guns.

I recently processed an application in one of my cities where the carrier proposed a monopalm in the middle of a grove of broadleaf trees. 'Hey, it's camouflaged' didn't cut it.

That site sure looks ugly to say the least. If it were completely covered with shrubbery and branches, it would look much better.

why do they even make monopine's i mean they never really look real.

Colo:

Properly designed and constructed monopines can be very good wireless supports. The issues come down to branch count, branch coverage of the panels, starting height of the branches, bark cladding, panel socks, and other vegetation around the trunk.

By the way, I separate design and construction because I've seen very good designs that were not properly translated to the constructed tree. In one case, recently, a city refused to sign off on a monopine that did not replicate the approved plans. The carrier, which I will NOT name, had to go back and spend $$$ to make the constructed tree look similar to the approved design.

this one seems like it was poorly designed.

they could have least when for a lower profile platform and smaller panels
