— At CTIA 2013 in Las Vegas later this month, American Resource and Energy will unveil a set of products it says address remote-installation challenges in rural areas. The company will offer concrete-free foundations that are assembled on site with basic tools, and can be disassembled and reused elsewhere. Local rocks, gravel or backfilled soil serves as ballast, and no excavation is required. Self-raising monopole towers can be raised via a compact motorized device. And solar-powered systems mounted to the tower or another structure can produce as much as 10 kilowatts, helping to reduce or eliminate diesel reliance; wind/solar/diesel hybrid systems also are available.
