Cell on Wheel (COW)

Cell on Wheel (COW) is a mobile, temporary cell tower designed to provide network coverage in areas where permanent infrastructure is unavailable or insufficient.Mounted on a trailer or truck, it is a versatile solution for emergencies,events or temporary installations. COWs are equipped with the necessary telecommunications equipment, antennas, radios, and power sources, allowing them to quickly enhance coverage and capacity in both urban and remote locations.These portable towers are often deployed during disasters, large public gatherings or when network demand exceeds normal capacity. Their modular design enables rapid setup, providing connectivity within hours. COWs typically feature self-contained power systems, including generator sets and are connected to existing telecom infrastructure to ensure seamless integration.COW play a critical role in maintaining communication, particularly during emergency response situations or while awaiting the construction of permanent towers.
