Temporary Private 5G and LTE Coverage Without Building a Mast

In the US, the CBRS band at 3550 to 3700 MHz is the usual route for a private network. General Authorized Access needs no license and is coordinated through an approved Spectrum Access System, which assigns channels and protects incumbent users. Priority Access Licenses give protected spectrum and are held per county. Rules, coordination and equipment certification differ per band and per deployment, so confirm the requirement with your SAS provider or integrator before committing to a date.

No. TelescopicMast supplies the platform and the mast, nothing else: no radios, no antennas, no backhaul and no core. The equipment on a network site changes per project and per tender, so the platform stays neutral. Buyers typically save 15 to 20 percent compared with a pre-equipped tower, and the electronics are upgraded several times over the life of the steel.

There is no single number, and anyone offering one has not seen your site. Mid band spectrum around 3.5 to 3.8 GHz behaves close to line of sight, so the answer comes out of a link budget for your band, your target area and whatever is standing between the two. What is consistent is the direction of travel: clearing the vehicles, cabins, containers and stacked material that live at ground level is worth more than most other adjustments you can make on the day. The MSB6 range gives 20 feet, the MSB-Premium XL gives 30 feet, and both put the radio and the antenna in the same place at the top.

Usually less than for a permanent structure, because the platform is a vehicle or a movable object rather than a fixed installation with a foundation. That is a large part of why temporary networks use them. It is not a blanket exemption though: national rules, local rules, deployment duration, height and the site owner all come into it, and a 30 ft mast is treated differently from a 20 ft one in some jurisdictions. Check the specific location and duration before you plan the rollout around it.

That depends on what you mount, and the honest starting point is a power budget rather than a brochure figure. A base station and an edge core transmit continuously, which is a very different load from a camera that wakes on an event, so numbers borrowed from surveillance deployments will mislead you. The cabinet takes your own batteries and hydrogen or methanol fuel cells, the MSB-Edge carries three 220 W panels for 660 W of solar, and grid, solar and hybrid configurations are all supported. Typical stand time on a single site across all applications is six months to three years.
