Portable Base Station

The Cell on Wheels (COW) is a portable base station used to provide temporary cellular network coverage for high-profile events and emergency situations where existing base stations become damaged, or during natural disasters such as bushfires and floods.
A typical design includes a self-erecting pneumatic mast with staged locking and various head frame options for different antenna types, a separate microwave antenna mount, 19” racks for radio equipment, DC power, full electrical and mechanical fit-out.
The COW can be transported over large distances and on rough terrain, and may be left on site for an extended period of time with the use of either mains power or a backup generator.

Products Description

The COW tower is powered by a generator, which is mounted on the same truck or trailer. The generator is used to produce electricity to power the transmitters, receivers, and other equipment required for its operation. The generator can supply power for up to several weeks, depending on the fuel capacity of the generator and the power consumption of the equipment.

The COW tower's main component is the antennas that are mounted on top of the tower. The antennas are responsible for transmitting and receiving signals to and from the target audience. The tower can support up to three antennas, each of which can serve a different purpose or technology. For example, one antenna can be used for voice calls, whereas another antenna can be used for data transmission.

The COW tower also has several accessories, including radio units, routers, switches, and other equipment required for its operation. The radio units are used to receive and transmit the signals from the user to the base station. The routers and switches are used to connect the COW tower to the internet, which allows it to provide wireless internet access to users.

The COW tower is operated by telecommunication companies, emergency services, and event organizers. The tower can be deployed within hours of an emergency or event, and it can operate for several weeks without requiring significant maintenance or repair. Once the emergency or event is over, the tower is disassembled and transported to another location.
