  • Patent number: 6948290
    Abstract: A guyed tower is used to support wireless communication equipment and/or other types of loads. The guyed tower is fixedly attached to a foundation, and a pole tower is erected within a middle region of the guyed tower. This pole tower is also fixedly attached to the foundation. The pole tower supports the guyed tower by absorbing bending moments that are applied to the guyed tower. Thus, the presence of the pole tower within the middle region of the guyed tower enables the guyed tower to support additional wireless transmission equipment and/or other types of loads.

  • Patent number: 6668498
    Abstract: A guyed tower is used to support wireless communication equipment and/or other types of loads. The guyed tower is fixedly attached to a foundation, and a pole tower is erected within a middle region of the guyed tower. This pole tower is fixedly attached both to the foundation and to the guyed tower. Bending moments are transferred from the guyed tower to the pole tower via the collar that is disposed about the guyed tower. Thus, the presence of the pole tower within the middle region of the guyed tower increases the load capacity and stability of the guyed tower.
