Common questions about Mobile Tower Platforms
Everything you need to know about our mobile tower platforms, deployment options, and how they integrate with your existing security infrastructure.
The platform arrives without the electronics. No cameras, no analytics and no monitoring contract, so the camera, the recorder and the alarm receiving center stay your decision. What does come with it is the part that has to survive the site: a telescopic mast on a 100 percent galvanized steel base, CE certified by TUV Rheinland behind a 95 page test and measurement document, produced under an ISO 9001 quality system and ANSI certified as well. That enclosure outlasts the equipment on it by a factor of two to three, so the same platform carries two or three generations of camera technology. Buying the platform rather than a pre-built tower also saves in the region of 15 to 20 percent.
Under 15 minutes, by one engineer. Position the unit, extend the four feet, level it on the integrated spirit level and wind the mast up on the CE certified winch with its double brake system. No foundation, no grid connection, no crane and no specialist crew. What those 15 minutes do not cover is commissioning whatever you have chosen to put on the mast, so configure the cameras and the router in your own yard and the site visit really is a quarter of an hour.
Mains power where the site already has it, and three off-grid routes where it does not: batteries, solar, and hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. The MSB-Edge carries 660 W of solar on three 220 W panels, and fuel cells cover the dark months when solar alone will not. Sizing it is arithmetic rather than opinion: the load of your equipment, the hours you need it running, and the worst month of the year. The power equipment itself comes from Technology Partners such as SFC Energy and is specified to your requirement, not supplied inside the platform.
That is the point of the platform. The mast top is brand neutral, carries up to 130 lbs of payload and has pre drilled mounting points, so fixed, PTZ and thermal cameras go on the same head without welding or improvised brackets on site. ONVIF cameras and the VMS you already run will work, and the analytics stay with the partner you already trust. Technology Partners including Axis, Scylla and Milestone supply what goes on top; the mast, the cable route, the IP66 patch box and the mounting points are what the platform brings.
Yes. The platform reaches the market through security installers and integrators, rental companies, guarding firms and regional distributors, and there are now 430 or more partners across 25 or more countries. Because the platform ships without electronics, the margin on cameras, installation, commissioning, monitoring and service visits stays with the partner rather than with the manufacturer. Towers typically stay on a site for six months to three years, which is what turns a single sale into recurring revenue. Tell us which markets and which sectors you cover and the fit can be worked out from there.
Our systems are rated IP65, engineered for temperatures from -22°F to +140°F, and tested to withstand wind speeds up to 53 mph. They are deployed in deserts, offshore platforms, arctic regions, and high-humidity coastal environments worldwide.
