High-Rise Telecom Installation with Rope Access
Telecom infrastructure is only as good as its installation. For Vodacom’s 5G rollout, new antennas had to be mounted securely on a high-rise structure in Johannesburg. Traditional scaffolding or cranes would have slowed the project and driven up costs. Rope access provided a faster, safer, and more controlled way to reach the installation points without disruption to operations or the surrounding area.
