Problem
Traditional construction materials like steel and wood used in infrastructure and telecommunications are prone to corrosion, heavy, and can be difficult and costly to install, especially in remote or challenging environments. Additionally, passive intermodulation (PIM) interference in wireless communication infrastructure degrades signal quality and network performance, requiring continuous maintenance and costly diagnostic visits.
Solution
IsoTruss provides lightweight, high-strength structural solutions using a patented lattice geometry and composite materials, offering a superior alternative to steel and wood. Their IsoTruss® lattice cell towers are up to 12 times stronger than steel for a given weight, corrosion-resistant, and easier to install, reducing both upfront and lifecycle costs. For addressing PIM interference, IsoTruss offers PIM Armor™ panels, which attenuate RF signals at potential PIM sources, improving signal quality and network reliability. The combination of advanced composite materials and innovative designs results in durable, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions for telecommunications and other infrastructure applications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes telecommunications companies, wireless internet service providers (WISPs), and infrastructure developers seeking durable, lightweight, and cost-effective solutions for cell towers, utility poles, and other structural applications, as well as organizations looking to mitigate PIM interference in their wireless networks.
