TowerXchange: How should MNOs and towercos strike a balance between the cost and volume benefits of standardisation versus the needs to customise structures for different environments and wind loading?
Bhaskar Babu, Head – Telecom and Structures, Ganges Internationale:
For larger towercos standardised towers are the best option so that they can keep minimum records and have a back up plan to move towers or strengthen the towers or foundation whenever additional capacity is needed in future.
