Signalers and urbanists - elegant integration of telecom facilities in the urban and natural environment
Continuing the topic of unusual communication facilities (last time it was about data centers ), the antennas of cellular operators, camouflaged as natural forms, fell into our field of vision.
In the early 90s in the United States, when mobile operators were actively developing the infrastructure, conflicts with ordinary people were inevitable. Not everyone was happy next door to antennas and towers, growing like mushrooms after rain. The fears were different: someone was afraid of the harmful effects on health, someone - reducing the value of their possessions, and looking out of the windows at the glands is a dubious pleasure. Citizens even united into groups called NIMBY (not in my backyard - just not in my yard) to oppose the construction of communication facilities, at least in residential areas.

In 2001, Western Wireless installed a 100-foot tower in Yellowstone National Park in close proximity to local attractions - the Old Faithful geyser. The tower climbed into the eyes and lenses from all angles and caused a new wave of complaints. Such a case is not the only one, and as a result, telecom operators are obliged to rent park land for their facilities. For that very tower, Western Wireless pays $ 12,200 per year to the National Park Authority.
In search of a compromise between increased penetration and accessibility of communication for citizens and their simultaneous unwillingness to coexist with infrastructure facilities in 1992, Larson Camouflage conceived the idea of ​​disguising a tower under a tree. And if it is often not difficult to guess the nature of the spruce suddenly grown outside the window, in some cases the tricks and creative idea of ​​the operators can only be surprised.
German photographer Robert Voit and American Emily Shur staged a real hunt for fake trees all over the world.
In order not to embarrass anyone who grew in the middle of a clean field of fir trees, companies use the objects most familiar to a certain area as a camouflage.
Not only trees, but also other natural and urban forms fall into the field of vision of telecom operators and companies that provide services for the “camouflage” of cellular towers.

In the right picture, the antennas are located behind removable panels at the top of the cross, and the technical rooms are located behind the brick wall on the right.
We also have green telecom technology. For example, the 25-meter pine of one of our mobile operators in Apatity :
Have you noticed anything like that?
