Real sites. Real clients.
Measurable outcomes.
Tower work is judged by what still stands, still carries traffic, and still passes the inspector five years later. Here are the Vertical Axis engagements we’re authorized to publish. Years of the relationship, counties touched, platforms installed, and where the work sits today.
Published case studies.
Alabama Lightwave
Primary tower contractor for the wireless ISP serving Centreville, Brent, Jemison, Eoline, Butler, Ashby, Brierfield, Green Pond, West Blocton, and rural Bibb County since 2018.
Streamline Internet
The grant-funded fixed-wireless buildout that ended 'satellite or nothing' for rural Hendry County. Four 4-carrier towers complete, more in development.
We publish what the client authorizes.
A lot of tower work is quietly confidential. Carrier contracts, public-safety networks, and utility SCADA engagements usually carry non-disclosure that prevents us from naming the client, the site, or the gear. We respect that paperwork.
What’s on this page is the work where the client wanted the story told: long-running WISP relationships, municipal and rural broadband buildouts the client put in their own press releases, and flagship engagements that close the rural coverage gap. More will be added as the work continues and as clients sign off on publishing.
If your project is under NDA, we’ll still reference the scope and the outcome in quotes and proposals for similar work. Nothing proprietary. Your name stays yours until you want it on a page like this one.
Want to be the next case study?
If you're running a tower project you'd be proud to see written up, we'd be proud to build it. Send us the scope and we'll tell you straight whether we're a fit.
Questions about projects and confidentiality.
Why isn't every project you've done on this page?
Most tower work carries some flavor of non-disclosure. A few common reasons:
- Carrier contracts (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, regional carriers) usually prohibit public reference to the carrier or the site.
- Public-safety and 911 network work often carries operational-security clauses that prevent us from publishing the tower locations or the topology.
- Utility SCADA engagements touch critical infrastructure; the utility’s security team typically prohibits public reference.
- Tribal-jurisdiction work runs under sovereign agreements where publication rights stay with the tribe.
We respect the paperwork. When a project gets cleared for publication (or when a client asks us to write it up), it goes on this page.
Can I get references or a list of unpublished work?
What makes a good case study for you?
Three things line up:
- A measurable outcome. Tower-count built, coverage expansion, SLA met, revenue restored. Not a fluff piece.
- A client who wants the story told. Mutual credibility: them, for transparency, us, for proof.
- A scope we’re proud of. We don’t publish anything we wouldn’t put our names on in front of a structural engineer.
If your project hits all three, we’d love to write it up.
Can I use a Vertical Axis case study as part of my grant application or investor deck?
How do I get started on a project?
Send us the scope: the site or site list, the tower type and height, the gear list or stamped RF design, your grant-program context if any, and your target window.
Request a quote here or call us at (763) 280-6050. Most scopes get a line-itemed quote back inside a week. Multi-site programs take longer because the schedule coordination is the harder part.
Another kind of project? Send it over. We answer every scoping call.
Tell us the site.
We'll bring the steel.
Send the location, tower type, scope, and timeline. We come back with a quote, a crew, and a schedule you can build a business around.
