The Andrew crimp vastlydecreases the number o partsneeded per tower, whilereducing weight, lowering cost,and speeding deployment.
The Andrew tower is designed with your ieldcrews in mind, and provides or the astest,
easiest installation o any tower in the indus-
try. Modular sections and ewer parts mean
that installation times can oten be reduced
by 25% or more compared to other solutions,
helping you expand your network even aster
and more cost-eectively.
All tower members are individually stamped
or easy reerence to assembly diagrams,
ensuring speed and accuracy on site. Only
minimal crew training is needed, and expert
Andrew personnel are available to provide
supervision and assistance.
Your crews don’t need cranes or any other
heavy or specialized equipment. All indi-
vidual tower components are sized or easy
handling, with none larger than 5.8 m,
allowing easy o-loading by hand once
delivered to the site. Only basic tools, such
as pulley block, rope, and torque wrench
are needed or installation. The completelybolted design requires no welding. Installers
quickly assemble each section and then step
up on that section to install the next section
above it.
To urther assist in your deployment eorts,
Andrew can ship general materials along
with the tower components, such as earthing
kits, navigation lights, painting kits, and other
items that are useul during installation.
Low maintenance tower helpsminimize operating costs
All leg connections in Andrew towers are
double sheer, optimizing leg connection
strength, minimizing the number o bolts
required per connection, and ensuringlong bolt lie.
All tower members are galvanized or high-
quality corrosion protection. In the event o
damage to the galvanization, parts can be
easily re-coated in the ield. In contrast to
tubular-type towers, any corrosion can be
seen and eliminated early, and is not likely
to ever cause damage to the structure.
The right tower or any
applicationAndrew’s product line is geared to meet
nearly any operator need, taking into
account actors such as desired antenna
load, local wind conditions, terrain, altitude,
and ground conditions. Our main oering
currently includes:
• 3-sided light tower (height up to 45 m)
• 3-sided light-medium tower (height up to 72 m)
• 3-sided medium tower (height up to 104 m)
• 3-sided heavy tower (height up to 104 m)
• 3-sided backbone tower (height up to 100 m)
Typically, towers are available in increments
o 2m/3m/4m up to a particular height.
No gusset plates,ewer parts and connectionsAndrew Solutions’ towers are ully modular, with the middleportion o each leg member crimped to a precise 60°
angle. This patented innovation allows each horizontal andvertical member to attach directly to the leg at the crimpwithout the need or gusset plates.
As demand for wireless services increases
throughout the world, Andrew can help
operators profitably meet their expansiongoals with a diverse family of innovative,
modular, lattice tower configurations, each
built to maximize the strength-to-weight
ratio, while meeting operator needs for
cost-effectiveness, speedy deployment, low
maintenance, and outstanding functionality
in any environment.
Thousands of Andrew towers are currently
in use by dozens of carriers, proving their
ability to provide effective, economical
service on a long-term basis.

Andrew oers customers a uniquely diverse
amily o towers ranging rom one small
enough to provide a superior alternative to
a monopole installation to one that can
accommodate the heaviest antenna load ona top-mounted installation.
Since the Andrew design is modu-
lar, elements o dierent tow-
ers can be combined to
optimally meet certain
conditions. For exam-
ple, in some installa-
tions we have custom
conigured towers
where lighter top sec-
tions are removed and
heavier bottom sections
are added. This modular
design helps our customers meet
stringent twist and sway requirements,
add additional antenna loads, and operate
eectively in extremely windy terrain.
Built to it in even thetightest spaces
All Andrew towers have the smallest ootprint
possible. For densely populated cities or
other areas where space is at a premium,
Andrew engineers have developed an inno-
vative portal solution. In this space-minimizing
coniguration, the container sits conveniently
within the 3-sided tower ootprint, thereby
reducing the required real estate by up to 40%.
High quality construction orlong service lie
While most other towers on the market
consist o components that are drilled and
punched by hand, each structural component
o every Andrew tower is machined using
ully automated, highly accurate
computer numerical controlled
(CNC) machining equip-
ment. This ensures that
every member is manu-
actured to the strictest
tolerances, eliminating
surprises on-site and
related problems down
the road.
Andrew and its actories
are ISO 9001:2000 certiied
companies, urther ensuring consis-
tent high quality and attention to detail at
every stage o the process.
Packaged or economicalshipping, easier handling
Always anticipating ways to make our towers
even more eective solutions, Andrew towersare designed to ship in 6.096 m containers.
In act, the strategic design allows two
50 m towers to be packed in a single
30.48 cm x 6.096 m container, minimizing
your reight costs and providing easy
storage and handling in your
warehouse.
Expert engineering support
Andrew has an in-house proessional
engineering sta supporting you every step
o the way. These experts work with you to
analyze your requirements to determine the
appropriate tower solution or custom design
a tower or coniguration i needed.
In addition, our engineers oer ull support
with oundation design and are always
available to your crews to answer questions
and provide troubleshooting expertise.
As you grow, Andrew engineers are by
your side helping you plan or added
capacity with tower upgrades that best
meet the needs o your business.
Fewer parts. Lighter weight.Better tower.
Andrew can help you expand your network
quickly and cost-eectively with a patented
tower design that meets your needs or high
quality and lower operating costs.
