Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - 2013

Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - Town of Morrisville, NC – Adopted July 23, 2013

Antenna and Support Facility Concealment Options The antenna and support structures can also be concealed. Antenna concealment techniques include: faux dormers; faux chimneys or elevator shafts encasing the antenna feed lines and/or equipment cabinet; and painted antenna and feed lines to match the color of a building or structure. A concealed tower is not readily identifiable as a wireless facility. In slick sticks, banner and flag poles and three legged poles the antenna are covered by fiberglass shields; and on faux trees the monopole and antenna are painted and surrounded by faux branches. Partially concealed towers included modified braces and brackets on the lattice towers and painted monopoles. Dual-purpose towers include light stanchions and poles added within an existing utility tower.
