A new type of transmission tower can be installed even if there is no possibility to connect to the electricity grid. Telecommunications equipment placed on such a carrier is self-powered. The tower is equipped with vandal-resistant solar panels, two wind generators and batteries, safely hidden underground.

Depending on the modification, a non-volatile support can generate 0.3 to 5 kW of electricity. This is sufficient for the operation of a mobile base station in the LTE (4G) standard, an Internet of Things base station and similar equipment. The tower’s batteries can operate for 20 years without maintenance. The payback period for any such support is approximately 4-5 years, according to RBC. Non-volatile cell towers can solve the problem of mobile coverage of remote parts of highways. They will be particularly useful on the A-360 Lena highway, which stretches 1,100 kilometers from Never to Yakutsk. It is mainly laid by the wild taiga. According to the latest data from Roskomnadzor, only about half of this federal highway is covered by the reception area of ​​mobile operators.

Providing ubiquitous and high-quality mobile communications not only on federal highways, but also on all roads in Russia is necessary from another point of view. As early as 2023, authorities plan to introduce “electronic rights” into everyday life. The driver can present them to the traffic cop on his smartphone. In order to realize the possibilities of this service, mobile communication and mobile internet must cover all public roads, where it occurs to the police to check the driver’s license.
