Rooftop cell sites are pivotal for 4G and 5G network densification in cities. For example, American Tower's rooftop installations in New York support small cells and distributed antenna systems (DAS), enhancing 5G coverage with rooftop 5G antennas.
Rooftops make it possible for antennas on the 5G network to transmit 5G signals directly to users through a better line of sight in an urban area. In this way, people and devices on the ground and near the edges of neighboring buildings can consistently get reliable 5G reception.
Rooftop telecom towers, often called rooftop cell towers or roof top antenna towers, are specialized structures installed on building rooftops to support antennas and equipment for wireless communication. Typically ranging from 3 to 30 meters in height, these towers use hot-dip galvanized steel (ASTM A123) for over 30 years of durability.
When constructing new rooftop base station towers, height limitations are set to ensure that the minimum antenna height is not lower than the average building height, and the height of rooftop towers produced by tower manufacturers generally does not exceed 21 meters, with the maximum antenna height not exceeding 40 meters.
