Monopole Communication Tower
Self-supporting tower with single pole structure for telecommunication applications, available in height options from 5 to 50 meters
Monopole towers use a single tapered steel tube as the main structure, formed by rolling and welding steel plates into a conical shape. The structure is typically equipped with climbing ladders, working platforms, lightning protection, and antenna mounting components. To ensure a long-term outdoor use, the surface of monopole communication towers is protected with hot-dip galvanizing and an added paint finish, which helps prevent rust and damage from sun, rain, and moisture over time.

Typical Installation Environments
Monopole towers are often installed in city centers, residential neighborhoods, and scenic areas where the look of the structure matters to the overall landscape. In downtown areas or places with limited space, pile foundations are often chosen to reduce the occupied area and make construction on site easier.

Flexible Design Options
Tower height, diameter, and wall thickness are designed based on real operating loads, allowing the structure to securely support different antenna systems and communication devices.
Reduced Ground Space
The base of a monopole tower is significantly smaller than that of traditional triangular lattice towers, allowing it to be installed more easily in city centers and in sites where space is restricted.
Faster Installation
With a simpler assembly process than traditional lattice towers, installation takes less time and requires fewer steps on site, helping speed up the overall construction schedule.
Modern and Clean Appearance
The slim, smooth profile gives monopole towers a clean look that fits naturally into city landscapes without disrupting the surrounding architectural style.
Stronger Wind Performance
Due to the monopole towers round profile, wind flows more smoothly around the structure, which reduces wind pressure and limits twisting during strong winds, improving overall stability.
Stable Structural Performance
The circular cross-section allows loads and vibrations to be distributed evenly, helping the tower handle higher mechanical stress over long-term operation.

Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is used to shape the steel components through focused beam cutting and assisted gas removal. The process offers fast cutting speed and high dimensional accuracy (up to ±0.05 mm), while keeping heat impact to a minimum. This reduces the risk of deformation and results in clean, well-defined edges.
CNC Punching and Shearing
Steel angles are processed through CNC-controlled punching and shearing lines. Automatic feeding, positioning, punching, and cutting are all integrated into the process, keeping production running smoothly and efficiently. Precise CNC positioning keeps quality consistent, even when working with more complex parts.
Hot-Dip Galvanizing and Surface Protection
The tower is protected with hot-dip galvanizing as the main anti-corrosion treatment, along with an extra plastic coating for added protection. The zinc layer protects the steel from rust and adds strength, while the coating gives extra insulation and surface protection. This combined treatment allows the tower to maintain reliable performance for over 20 years and adapt well to harsh environments such as high and low temperatures, coastal areas, and mountainous regions.
We also offer FRP antenna radomes and a wide range of accessories for telecommunication towers.
