How do ya do fellow trees?
post
Day 108: I have realized the trees cannot hear anything I am saying, nor do they seem capable of complex thoughts. More research is needed
We have a bunch of these disguised radio towers around here and it's extra funny because most of them are alone out in a flat, dusty field with no trees around, or if there are other trees, absolutely none of them are evergreens so the tower still stands out like a sore thumb. They would look better as cactus, even though cactus isn't even common in this part of the state.
hehehehe I love fake tree/cactus disguises for equipment. If they ever figure out how to make hyper-realistic ones, I hope they use the comically fake-looking ones instead, because they're way funnier
RF interference gets worse from shorter wavelengths in 5g unfortunately. The same people who hate these antennas are also the same people who complain that they don't get any good signal. This is just a compromise by bending over backwards
Yup, and these disguised sites can cost 3-5x as much to install and maintain depending on the specific style needed for the area.
It also limits the compatible networking hardware that can be used, which can be more expensive than what's necessary for those locations.
I don't understand. Just some picture of normal trees? Why the caption?
It's been mocked to death, but it's still better than a regular cell tower. Instead of a boring pylon with antennas, you get a funny fake tree.
The palm tree ones are kinda cute though

In the DR, especially in Santo Domingo, there are a lot of Norfolk Island Pine trees / Araucaria. They are the only conifers that can exist there at sea level, so they look super out of place surrounded mostly by palm trees and other tropical plants
They look exactly like the fake cell phone tower trees (photo below of them somewhere else), but they are actually real. Really threw me for a loop seeing them when I was there

The entire picture looks like a render to me tbh
Doesn't look like the Congo to me, but thanks for sharing anyway.
Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here
It's a fake tree hiding radios you may have used to download the jpeg of the fake tree
ALL cell towers should be disguised. They’re blights on the community.
Found the NIMBY that demands the 5x more expensive equipment, that isn't as capable because it has to be hidden, and still complains about service being bad.
Do you have a problem with the look of solar panels on houses as well?
Probably on your HOA board too.
