Tower and Foundation Reinforcement

 

STREFA PROJECTS PVT LTD Can provide cost effective reinforcement designs that will pull new utility from old tower sites when cost or local regulations make a new tower impractical.

Towers Design & Supply

 

Self Supporting Tower

 

Self-supporting towers are supported on ground or on building and they act as cantilever trusses in carrying the wind and seismic loads. Though the weight of these towers is more they require less base area and are suitable in many situations. Hence most of the Telecom Cell Towers are self-supporting towers.

 

Steel towers can be constructed in number of ways but most efficient use of material is achieved by using open steel lattice. The typical arrangement for microwave tower is shown in the figure. The use of an open lattice avoids presenting the full width of structure to the wind but enables the construction of extremely light in weight and stiff structures. Hence most of the Telecom Cell structures are lattice structures.

STREFA offers the following Self-Supporting Towers

 

  1. Based on cross section of tower

 

  • Square Towers

  • Rectangular Towers

  • Triangular Towers

  • Delta Towers

 

  1. Based on type of material sections

 

  • Angular Towers

 

  • Hybrid Towers (Legs tubes and bracings angles)

 

 

  1. Based on placement of tower

 

  • Ground Based Towers

  • Roof Top Towers

 

 

Guyed Masts

 

Guyed Masts provides height at a much lower material cost than self-supporting towers due to the efficient use of high strength steel in the guys. Guyed masts are normally guyed in three directions over an anchor radius of typically 2/3 of the tower height and have a triangular lattice section for the central mast. Tubular masts are also used, especially where icing is very heavy and lattice sections would ice up fully.

 

These towers are much lighter than self-supporting type but require a large free space to anchor guy wires. Whenever large open space is available, guyed towers are provided. There are other restrictions to mount dish antennae on these towers and require large anchor blocks to hold the ropes.

Shelters

 

Shelters are the state of art shelters conceptualized to provide protection to the high value telecom equipment. Strefa shelters are self-supporting with metal puff sandwich panels and specially designed doors. The shelters are corrosion resistant, dust and dirt proof. The specification are in line with the most common and specially designed (tailor made) as per customer requirements. We can supply prefabricated shelters and re-locatable shelters with best quality and low cost. Our qualified team will install all BTS equipment as per the client’s requirement and design.

STREFA IN BUILDING SOLUTIONS

 

Concept of In-Building Solutions

 

Hi-speed wireless connectivity in workplace, airports, hotels, convention centers, hospitals etc is becoming more prevalent. It provides today’s business executives equipped with laptops, PDAs, wireless LAN, mobile sets with seamless wireless email and Internet service. To meet this ever-growing demand, building owners are finding it of paramount importance to deploy a robust in-building wireless solution for creating a competitive niche and better user experience. Typically a building requires services such as Broadband, Mobile Telephone Coverage, DTH, etc. To ensure the delivery of such services seamlessly to the users, a state of the art infrastructure is required.

 

For Wireless LANs, PDAs, Laptops, Mobile sets to communicate smoothly using various mobile and wireless services and applications, adequate signal strength is critical. For example, a building may not receive adequate mobile coverage from outdoor cell sites. This is because in most cases the signals present outside the building are unable to penetrate the building material, thus resulting in poor coverage. A typical problem

 

in high rises is the problem of interference, where at higher floors a full network presence is detected but a call cannot be made successfully due to interfering signals. Crowded areas like malls, airports, large commercial complexes need a dedicated system to handle the capacity requirements for the large number of calls at such locations. Further with 3G quickly getting popularity amongst these above mentioned demographics, network strength, quality and capacity etc are becoming a cause of major concern.

 

With comprehensive experience of deploying hi performance wireless infrastructure projects, STREFA offers an unbiased approach to In-Building Solutions while providing flexibility for new technologies.

 

In-Building Solutions Infrastructure

 

To ensure adequate strength and quality of wireless signals, it is essential to have a dedicated

 

In-building solution. Similarly for other wireless services such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Wireless Broadband, etc. such a dedicated Infrastructure is the need of the hour. And with 3G on the horizon, the need for a dedicated communication infrastructure is now more than ever. Additionally, such infrastructure should be capable of supporting multiple operators and service providers.

 

STREFA is actively working with the entire ecosystem of Developers, Builders, Shopping Malls etc to build, ready to use in building infrastructure for the Telecom

Operators to take advantage of and offer an unbeatable and superior user experience to their customers.

 

Our Approach

 

         We at STREFA believe that a neutral and unbiased host infrastructure provider like us understand better the needs of the building users/dwellers, developers and the corresponding service providers. We evaluate the complexity of an indoor wireless environment while focusing on cost-effective network planning and systems engineering solutions.

 

We ensure that the building is installed with a state of the art Infrastructure to support a host of wired as well as wireless services comprising of In-Building Mobile coverage, Wireless Broadband, etc.

 

STREFA ensures a hassle-free single window for all connectivity needs for a building. A single network is installed and is shared commonly by all service providers.

 

STREFA PROJECTS PVT LTD Designs and installs infrastructure ensuring:

  • Extensive wireless LAN with lesser access points and more uniform coverage for the operator

 

  • A single network supports all services/ service providers so that there is no need for parallel networks and parallel cables. All the service providers commonly share the infrastructure

  • Reducing re-wiring. Once the building is wired its future ready for all kinds of connectivity requirements and re-wiring is almost eliminated.

 

  • STREFA PROJECTS PVT LTD becomes your hassle free single point of contact interacting with several service providers. For scalability, technology upgrades are planned for and taken care of

 

  • Aesthetics are preserved
