Can mobile base stations be retrofitted to shipping container shops?Vodacom has developed a system allowing mobile base stations to be retrofitted to shipping container shops, increasing coverage roll-out speed. Mobile data usage is growing strongly across South Africa, driven by the rapid uptake of smartphones and tablets.
How big is a mobile base station?A standard mobile base station typically has a site footprint of 30 square metres or more. This includes a mast, which is usually 15 to 25 metres tall and supports the radio antennae that connect to mobile devices. In addition, each site has an equipment storage building to house radio and power equipment.
What is a containerised substation?Purpose made substations, housing erected, tested and commissioned indoor distribution switchgear in one complete package. RWW’s containerised substations are designed, manufactured, fully assembled, wired and operationally tested in our workshops, therefore site works are minimised along with delays due to inclement weather.
What drives RWW development of containerised outdoor substations?Customers requiring shorter overall delivery times and minimal on-site work have been the main drivers for RWW development of containerised outdoor substations.
Are containerised substations a good option for remote areas?Containerised substations are incredibly useful in remote areas. Civil construction costs are high, and converting a standard marine specification container into a substation is significantly less expensive than arranging for on-site construction of switchgear housing.
Are containerised substations a good investment?One key area where big industries can make significant cost savings is by using purpose-made, containerised substations. These repurposed marine shipping containers arrive on-site pre-installed with fully tested switchgear, ready for immediate cable connection. Containerised substations are incredibly useful in remote are
