CDMI’s Lite-Site™ Quick Deploy Cell Site’s family of ballast towers are used for both temporary and permanent site builds.
CDMI’s Lite-Site™ has been the go to solution for both temporary and permanent site deployments in regions all over the USA. Lite-Sites™ have a high loading capacity and small footprint which makes it ideal where restored or extended cell coverage is needed. Typical applications are events requiring extra capacity; water tank and building maintenance where antennas need relocating; disaster recovery and relief and any non-penetrating soil applications.
The lack of guy wires and parking lot size footprint opens up your real estate and site acquisition possibilities to extended cellular coverage and capacity in areas not previously thought viable.
Don’t settle for less when Lite-Sites™ can get you back completely – and fast! Deploy the antennas that are going to suit your needs with the Lite-Site™.
Temporary Sites
For over 20 years, CDMI Lite-Sites™ have been the go-to solution for temporary sites.
Our ballast towers have been used by carriers for temp sites such as water tank maintenance, building demolitions or remodels, festivals and fairs, grand prix races, superbowl, presidential inaugurations, extra stadium capacity, seasonal coverage for resort areas or beaches, and disaster recovery from fires, tornados and hurricanes.
The Lite-Site™’s small footprint, high loading capacity, and ease of setup, decommissioning, and re-deployment are the reasons carriers and contractors choose the Lite-Site™ for their inventory of temporary sites.
Permanent Sites
Lite-Site™ Quick Deploy Cell Sites are designed for permanent placement and engineered to the latest TIA and IBC standards.
There is no difference in product between a temporary Lite-Site™ and a permanent Lite-Site™. Used as a permanent site, the Lite-Site™ can reduce overall site costs by simply not penetrating the ground, reducing construction time, and utilizing a much smaller leasing area. Our Lite-Sites™ are also co-locatable, offering capacity for multiple carriers.
The Lite-Site™’s on-grade foundation and small footprint can open site location opportunities. Parking lots, brownfield areas, tribal lands, landfills, airports, or anywhere that penetrating the ground is either not an option or too costly are all viable locations for a permanent Lite-Site™.
Site-Acquisition
The Lite-Site™ opens up opportunities for site locations!
The Lite-Site™ is a great tool in the site acquisition toolbox to get your sites online quickly. The small compact compound area of the Lite-Site™ family of products helps gain access to those difficult sites from parking lots to mountain tops. With no ground penetration, any lot is a potential cell site, whether brownfield or historic land, the Lite-Site™ pulls out the STOP signs to site acquisition. If the acquisition of a permanent site is still not possible in your search ring, the Lite-Site™ can be used as a temporary solution returning value in terms of coverage and customer satisfaction. A permanent Lite-Site™ may be allowed following the positive attributes of its temporary placement.
Real Estate
The compound area of the Lite-Site™ can be as little as ten feet square providing value at the leasing stage.
With no ground penetration, decommissioning of the site is quick and painless. CDMI’s multi-carrier poles, with co-location, add potential value and can increase revenue. Getting sites through zoning approval is often a painstaking process. The Lite-Site™ has appealing features that can win over zoning officials.
Construction
CDMI’s Lite-Site™ simplifies the construction process.
The entire foundation and monopole can be installed in one day. The Lite-Site™’s standardized design takes the guesswork out of assembly and installation. With the on-grade foundation, no ground penetration is required. This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming site preparation and foundation work. With loading of less than 1,500 psf no geotechnical investigation is required.
