| 摘要： | "HAS THAT PALM TREE ALWAYS BEEN THERE?" "HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT WATER TOWER?" "WAS THAT 24-FT CACTUS THERE YESTERDAY?"For years motorists across the U.S. have been asking themselves these questions while doubting their own sanity. If this sounds like you, don't worry. Those things you see aren't real, but you're not going crazy. With the proliferation of cell phones and smart devices, cellular network towers have been sprouting up everywhere. While everyone loves wider cell coverage, no one wants new towers built in their neighborhood. Resembling a model of the Eiffel Tower that a child dropped on the floor and then quickly tried to reassemble before anyone noticed, these structures are a bit of an eyesore. As a result, a whole new industry has been created around the camouflage and concealment of cell towers. You'll find cell towers hidden inside faux cacti in the Southwest and artificial palm trees on the West Coast. The Northwest uses fiberglass evergreens, and there are even plastic water towers in the Great Plains. Now 5G technology is rolling out, which creates new concealment challenges. |
