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.
