Description
Non-Provisional Patent Application HELICAL ANCHOR FOUNDATION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
[0001] The latest generation of mobile broadband networks (i.e., 5G) can function through small cells that are integrated into light poles along city streets.
These light poles provide light to the city streets and also function as access points to a mobile broadband network. However, conventional methods to replace an existing light pole require an existing foundation to be removed in order to install a new light pole that is cellular integrated. Removing an existing foundation may take several weeks to accomplish due to concrete foundations needing to be dug up, new forms put in place and time for new concrete to cure. Alternatively, a new foundation may be dug in a new location. However, installing a light pole in a new location can esthetically ruin the look of evenly spaced poles along a street. Therefore, it would be desirable to implement a light pole replacement system that is faster than conventional methods and allows for the spacing of existing light poles to remain esthetically correct.
