ARE Telecom was contracted by a private company to provide design consulting, manufacturing, logistics, and installation of a 120’ Direct Embedment Pole.
Overview
Thanks to ARE Telecom’s expertise and innovative solutions, the installation of ARE’s 120’ Direct Embedment Pole has allowed for better signal quality in a rural part of the installation area.
