How To Buy Self Supporting Telecom Tower
Any telecom network today relies heavily on wireless transmission over long distance. Self supporting telecom towers form a prime building block of wireless networks. Over a period of time, standards have evolved defining the design of these towers. Turnkey telecom providers have also marked their presence and competency in setting up self supporting telecom towers. While these providers undertake the project on an end-to-end basis, as a telecom services company you need to know what exactly is being bought and installed in your network.
The quote provided by your turnkey telecom provider for a self supporting telecom tower, would depend on a number of parameters that need to be understood for optimization of project cost and performance.
Cost depends on the type of self supporting telecom tower design: Primarily, self supporting telecom tower can be constructed using two designs – Steel Lattice and Steel tubular construction.
The steel latticed tower uses angular section steel elements for the construction of the tower. The angular elements can economize the material cost of the tower with reasonable load bearing capacity.
The tubular steel construction is faster to construct and has higher load bearing strength. However, it may outweigh the latticed construction in terms of material costs because it uses tubular elements.
Maintenance costs: Self supporting telecom towers, like most offsite telecom infrastructure have periodic inspection. Welded joints, bolted elements and many such important aspects of the towers are carefully checked on an annual basis, or even more frequently.
Tubular constructions require more in-depth testing for internal corrosion within the tubes, which is not the case with angular latticed constructions.
Technical specifications that affect project costs: Specifications such as equipment load, Wind loads and even snow load at cold areas, affect the cost of the self supporting telecom towers. Higher ratings of these would mean higher structural reinforcements, and hence higher cost.
Accessories and other peripheral costs: To arrive at an accurate price quote the turnkey provider will also take into consideration various accessories used for the project that include equipment mounting assemblies, safety ladders, cable mounts and many such accessories required specifically for each location.
Like any area of the telecom towers business, it is important for the telecom service provider to understand various elements of cost while ordering a self supporting telecom tower through a competent turnkey solution provider. Understanding these cost elements at a client level would greatly help in optimizing cost and performance, and ensuring greater financial viability of the project.

What is the strongest way to build a "tower" that can support a brick, using index cards and staples??
The tower must be at least eleven inches off the ground and able to support a normal sized brick without collapsing. You can fold, or staple the index cards but the object is to use the least amount of materials (index cards, folds, and staples) and to build the strongest tower. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Curvature is your friend but I would look at cones rather than cylinders since cones can be stacked. Stacked cones will hold up against shear (at the staples) better than stacked cylinders.
Here's a little secret to make things even better:
Slightly wet the cards then dry lightly in an oven, they will take on a permanent curve (which way will depend on how it was manufactured). Use these curved cards to build your project.
