In this respect, QPROJECTS Solutions is assisting local councils and state governments in setting the environmentally aware standards and equipment by disguising cellular (mobile phone) base station shelters and cellular (mobile phone) antenna masts/towers.
Like any science, the methods used in disguising cellular base station shelters, antenna masts / towers evolve with advances in technology and thus offer increasing benefits to the environment. Some Telecommunications companies are committed to helping the visual impact created in our environment by appropriately camouflaging their installations in a number of different ways and help to blend in with the existing environment. These include installations blended in to billboards and roadside advertising structures, various species of trees, windmills, lighthouses, forestry lookout towers, brand name signs, and in urban areas have been incorporated into building structures, chimneys, rooftops, spires, windows, cornices, gutters, street lighting poles, street furniture, even heritage listed building structures and structures of historical significance. The imagination has been fully utilized to the point were after colour matching one cannot tell if a telecommunication facility is present. 
QPROJECTS Solutions is working in cooperation with worldwide companies design, and manufacture of camouflaged infrastructure. There are a number of second-generation trees presently in the design stage, for example the Elete Pine Tree, Cypress Tree, Phoenix Caniriensis (Canary Island palm) and the Phoenix Dactylisera (Date palm). Chief among them, however, is the new Cocus Plumosa (Queen palm). The “Trees / Palms” are produced from non-toxic environmentally friendly materials and are all fully recyclable; the new trees have also been designed to withstand 306 km/h cyclonic wind conditions. 
At QPROJECTS Solutions our suppliers and manufacturers of disguise equipment have been involved in the disguise industry since the early 90’s, making them leaders in disguise technology. Since the early stages, this technology has made great strides resulting in the new second-generation Trees being more real-life in appearance than their predecessors, offering denser foliage for improved antenna camouflage. A major benefit for subscribers is that the second generation structures offer increased cellular capacity for a specific coverage area, meaning less congestion and even fewer dropped calls. Significantly, the tree also allows for most spectrums and frequencies in antennas to be mounted on it making it more versatile with telecoms technology. The majority of trees have internal climbing access, meaning that property owners experience fewer disruptions as crane use for maintenance is limited. |
