innovative from the ground up
next-generation wireless towers
Aradatum’s towers can be placed literally anywhere in the landscape, giving you access to all of the previously unaccessible and strategic locations you need to optimize your network.
self-powered
While 5G is wireless, most towers still operate on a power cable—but not ours. Aradatum’s self-powered tower eliminates the cost to run new power lines and frees our towers to go places others can’t by delivering all the performance you need in a stand-alone infrastructure solution.
easy to install
Bringing access to the last mile means making our towers fast and simple to deploy wherever people want them. Our unique design means there's no need to pour concrete on-site, and since each tower is raised hydraulically, installation doesn't even require a crane.
99.999% uptime
We deliver uninterrupted service and secure communication precisely where it’s needed, with redundant power sources for your mission-critical applications.
sustainable
Powered by clean, renewable energy (the tower itself is a wind turbine, topped by a solar array), our design has a very small carbon footprint. It's so efficient that it can provide an environmentally responsible way to meet the growing demand for 5G—and still have enough excess power stored to charge electric vehicles on site.
aesthetically appealing
Freed from the rules of traditional cell tower design, our sleek tower reinvents the look of wireless infrastructure. Its minimalistic aesthetics make it an iconic addition to the skyline of modern communities.
prepared for any weather
Our three-phase 480VAC power system keeps crucial communications for edge computing and private networks up and running no matter what the forecast is.
It’s time to rethink the way you build your network
Our innovative tower design overcomes the challenges that have limited the reach of next-generation wireless networks. Our patented infrastructure provides consistent and reliable power for your network equipment.
aradatum tower anatomy
Multiple clean power sources make the most of a small footprint, expanding telecommunications infrastructure absolutely anywhere.
Because tower climbing has been called “the most dangerous job in America,” we designed our towers in a safer way that allows antennas to be installed at ground level before the mast is raised to its final position.
Wind and solar energy is stored onsite in safe, LiFePO4 chemistry battery systems to provide continuous power to communications and other applications like EV charging.
An on-site backup generator supported by hydrogen or natural gas/propane ensures ample power if the battery ever gets too low.

Systemic approach to power
Each of these power applications are designed to keep the tower running independently of the grid – allowing for placement absolutely anywhere.
wind
Our vertical-axis wind turbine technology is quiet, safe for birds, and omni-directional, which allows for power generation regardless of wind direction.
Solar
Photovoltaic solar panels convert the sun’s rays into usable electricity during the daytime hours at our towers.
Battery Storage
Vanadium flow battery storage provides a consistent supply of DC power, nearly unlimited service life, and the security of the gold standard in battery safety.
Clean Propane Backup
This clean, American-made energy source is generated from onsite, safely stored propane to provide a power backup if the battery ever gets too low.
