Temporary Private 5G Network and LTE Coverage Without Building a Mast

Yes, and in most of Europe it is now a local application rather than a national auction. Ofcom issues Shared Access licences in the UK covering 1800 MHz, 2300 MHz, 3.8 to 4.2 GHz and 26 GHz, from around 80 pounds per 10 MHz a year at a rural location, with a medium power licence authorising a single base station. The Bundesnetzagentur allocates 3.7 to 3.8 GHz for local German networks on application, priced from a published formula with a 1,000 euro base fee. The RDI in the Netherlands issues 3400 to 3450 MHz and 3750 to 3800 MHz for a site bound network, restricted to a site you own or use and not resellable to third parties. Rules and processing times differ per country and per deployment length, so confirm with the regulator before you commit to a date.

No. TelescopicMast supplies the tower and the mast, nothing else. No radios, no antennas, no backhaul, no core. That is deliberate: the equipment on a network site changes per project and per tender, and a platform that arrives with someone else’s radio bolted to it is a platform you have to fight before you can use it. Buyers typically save 15 to 20 percent compared with a pre-equipped tower, and they upgrade the electronics 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 ft, the MSB-Premium XL gives 30 ft, 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.
