Construction

The Compound Changes. The Antenna Does Not.

A site cabin runs on cellular from the first week and keeps running on it for the life of the build.

The Problem

The antenna is aimed by eye on day one, when the compound is a flat field and the nearest mast is in clear line of sight. Then a crane goes up, a frame goes in, the hoarding moves, and the operator rebalances the cell it was pointed at.

Nobody re-aims it, because re-aiming it is a visit and a working-at-height method statement. It gets re-aimed when somebody important cannot join a call.

The Proof Point

Twelve positions. Under ten minutes. Re-run from a desk.

Cellular Path's comparison sheet gives SOCA-02 No Modem a twelve-point scan through 360 degrees and alignment in under ten minutes, with the scan re-run from its app or web portal afterwards.

Check Before Quoting

MastA pole 25 to 57 mm in diameter, rated to carry the antenna and 2.3 kg of rotator together

Cable15 m from the rotator to the controller, with 15 m and 30 m extensions available

Power12 V DC from a 2 A supply, 24 W maximum, in the cabin

AccessA safe method for the install. Every alignment after that one is remote, which is the point
