A new chapter in telecommunications infrastructure began in Marl, Germany, with the “planting” of the first Zerosite—a mere month after Telecon Sp z o.o. and Volkerwessels Telecom Deutschland GMBH BAUEN shook hands on a partnership agreement. This rapid progress from contract signing to construction commencement showcases the dynamic capabilities and commitment of both companies to revolutionize the telecom landscape.
The inaugural Zerosite to be erected in Marl during week 46 will stand at 14.99 meters tall, designed to obviate the need for a building permit. This installation sets a new precedent for efficiency: it features an above-ground foundation that doubles as a bench, and the Smartpole can be set up in just one day—a testament to the meticulous planning and modern engineering practices of the partnership.
Zerosite isn’t just another mast; it’s a versatile structure that supports the latest 5G and LTE technologies. With the flexibility to be constructed at heights ranging from 12 to 30 meters, it offers accommodation for up to two tenants. This adaptability makes Zerosite an exceptional solution for enhancing network density swiftly and seamlessly, presenting an attractive alternative to the more traditional and often “overcrowded” roof installations.
The strategic placement of Zerosites like the one in Marl aims to address the burgeoning demand for better and faster network services without disrupting the aesthetic and structural integrity of urban environments. By eliminating the visual clutter and physical barriers associated with conventional telecom towers, Zerosites pave the way for unobtrusive yet robust cellular network expansion.
As the first of its kind in Germany, the Marl Zerosite is set to demonstrate the potential of these multi-functional masts in meeting current and future connectivity demands. It exemplifies how infrastructural development can be conducted with an eye for design, speed, and utility, ensuring that communities benefit from the latest in telecommunications without compromising on their cityscape.
As Telecon and Volkerwessels Telecom continue to deploy Zerosites across Germany, they reaffirm their mission to bring state-of-the-art connectivity solutions to the forefront of urban development. This is just the beginning of a transformative journey towards smarter, cleaner, and more efficient telecommunications infrastructure.
