The Telebelly platform is a fully-customizable multipurpose infrastructure. The double station configuration features a smart waste unit, coupled with an enclosure that conceals Wi-Fi hotspots, IT equipment, and telecom infrastructure for Small Cell and more. The unit can also include a modest-height integrated mast that supports a discrete multi-band antenna and is connected to permanent fiber and power. The Telebelly can also support a wide variety of ICT applications; it’s an IT closet on the street, campus, transportation terminal, or wherever people congregate!

A tool in the small cell siting tool kit, the Telebelly platform can be a standalone solution with an integrated antenna mast or augment an existing site that lacks additional “real estate” capacity.

“It’s a trash and recycling bin that doubles as your free link to the world, which Louisville officials say is the first innovation of its kind to be deployed in the world. The bins [Telebelly] will bring free Internet access to residents, businesses and visitors at two of our busiest bus stops.”
“For the first time in the world, we will enable public visitors and tourists to experience this unique hybrid concept [Telebelly], as well as contribute to keeping our destinations clean and “green”. We are proud and pleased.”
“This [Telebelly] ends up being a location where we can extend that site to allow other equipment to be deployed right there. Where there’s waste and recycling, there’s densities of people with mobile devices. Within a cabinet like this, we have the ability deliver multi-carrier small cell solutions all concealed right on the streetscape.”
