5G surmounted headframe on monopole

5G Surmounted Headframe

A new telecom headframe designed for 5G applications, suitable as both an original installation or an upgrade to existing towers or monopoles. Being mounted above the tower enables a larger clear working area on a smaller diameter headframe, which in turn produces a lower wind loading, increasing the number of existing structures that can accept 5G antennas.

Design Development

FLI has been designing and manufacturing telecommunications structures for over 70 years. We work with networks and installers throughout headframe development and service, delivering design trials, training installations and upgrade paths. Our long experience ensures we always remember that these headframes are work spaces and must be as safe as possible with the best access to all the equipment.

High Capacity Headframes

Overmounted headframes can carry multiple operators and provide maintenance access without outage. With more space and the option for additional frames, these solutions can support 5G installations and offer additional capacity for the future. These high-capacity telecom headframes allow for flexible installations with upgrade capacity.

Yoke Headframes

These have the least visual impact and offer an alternative when planning restrictions initially rule out full headframes. All components are interchangeable, making upgrades to larger headframes straightforward. Yoke headframes provide a cost-effective, low-profile headframe option.
