Cellular lampposts arrive on the Singapore skyline – but can you spot them?

AlanDick, the cellular, radar, enterprise and communications infrastructure specialist, successfully deployed two cellular lampposts for StarHub, Singapore’s integrated info-communications provider.

The creation of Singapore’s first aesthetically friendly solution is the result of close liaison between AlanDick, StarHub and PowerGrid, the approving authorities for the use of substation sites.

Conventional monopole structures were unsuitable for deployment at PowerGrid’s East Coast Park and Cooling Close substations, due to aesthetic and general operational reasons. Drawing on a successful track history in the international cellular transmission business, AlanDick was able to design, develop and deploy the 10 and 15 metre lamppost camouflage solutions for the two sites. Due to the innovative design, the project took just four weeks from the ordering stage to delivery, with each of the lampposts being installed in two days.

As well as being aesthetically-pleasing, the installation of the two cellular lampposts proved a cost-effective solution for both PowerGrid and StarHub.

In recent years demand has increased for aesthetic solutions that assist building and property owners to apply visually unobtrusive communication infrastructures on commercial buildings and worksites.
 

This was the first time that AlanDick was asked to develop an aesthetically-friendly solution for the Singaporean market. Thanks to the use of leading edge composite design technology, AlanDick expects to see the wide-scale deployment of its cellular lamppost systems at many sites across Singapore that, for whatever reasons, cannot support a standard monopole structure installation.

AlanDick's products provide operators, property or building owners and the general public with a cellular transmission installation that is both cost-effective and easy on the eyes.
