Summary
In most countries, mobile network operators (MNOs) deploy tens of thousands of base stations to deliver mobile communications services to their customers. It is estimated that there are approximately 7 million base stations worldwide [1]. These deployments positively correlate with population density and base stations come in many different types from large rural masts, approx. 20-25 metres high, to street works locations which are typically around 10-15 metres high, to rooftop sites, whose height depend on the height of the building that hosts the equipment.
