Cell on Wheels technology, like the towers manufactured by Solaris, allows for temporary or emergency deployment of cell towers. COW towers are useful after a disaster that has wiped out existing cellular infrastructure, or as additional bandwidth during high-traffic events.

Today's highly interconnected world is much different than that of just 30-40 years ago when cell phones were being introduced to the general public. Growing up in an era where families had a shared "home" phone seems almost unfathomable today. Over the past couple of decades, most advanced countries have built major networks of towers and components that allow for remote connection nearly anywhere. Recent commercials from cellular service providers have touted the ability to connect over 99% of the United States. This is great, until disaster strikes or perhaps you find yourself at a concert in the middle of nowhere.

Solaris Technologies is an award-winning, leading manufacturer of mobile tower systems that are commonly referred to as COW (cell on wheels) towers. Solaris is a woman and minority owned business in the DFW area of Texas that prides itself on quality and service, and that shows through on their products. Evelyn Torres, CEO, says Solaris chose hot-dip galvanizing due to its durability, quality, and longevity. She said they needed a high-quality coating that would stand up to the frigid environments in Canada and in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Evelyn has even added hot-dip galvanizing into their manufacturing process standard. HDG provides the durability, quality, and longevity that they were looking for and has served them well since the companies inception in 2011.

The towers that Solaris manufacture serve a wide array of customers, from defense contractors to internet service providers like T-Mobile. They come in various sizes and can be custom built, but typically are from 60' to their 150' Goliath model. Solaris towers have been implemented in various locations from Canada to South America. The flexibility and mobility of cell-on-wheels towers allows them to be erected quickly after disasters such as hurricanes, or in pre-planned events where additional cell towers are needed. All of these models feature a hot-dip galvanized coating that ensures a consistent, good-looking finish and that their mobility and reliability will not be hindered by corrosion.

So, whether you find yourself trying to post photos at an event in a remote location or searching for directions and family members after a severe disaster, you can thank companies like Solaris for providing reliable mobile towers. Can you hear me now? Yes, now you can hear me. Thank you Solaris.
