Love your cell phone but hate ugly, obtrusive cellphone and radio towers? Well Ericsson is trying to give both our skylines and their industry a designer face-lift with the Tower Tube telecommunications site. The ‘Tube’ will contain all that wireless, telecommunications gobbledygook in one sleekly designed, architecturally pleasing edifice that may just be a net plus aesthetically for your community’s skyline.

The Tower reduces land use by being only about 5 meters in diameter; its modular concrete construction makes it quick and easy to assemble; all the equipment inside is protected from the elements, providing for fewer repairs and longer shelf-life; and the Power Tube’s exterior color, style, and finish can be customized for each community’s tastes and preferences (maybe pastels for Malibu, hot pink for San Fran and a neon pulsating phallus for Vegas).
