Fortress base stations and super base stations both include "base station" in their names, but they are quite different from traditional base stations. A traditional base station generally consists of cabinets and communication towers. These base stations are very fragile, easily damaged by disasters, and often lack standardized construction, which makes them prone to failure. Especially during events like typhoons, earthquakes, or other disasters, traditional base stations can be destroyed, leading to communication disruptions. The industry often says, "In disaster relief, communication comes first." Establishing communication is the first step to understanding the situation and planning the next steps for disaster response. Therefore, the importance of base stations cannot be overstated. Fortress and super base stations are newer concepts that have been deployed in many parts of China in recent years. Their key feature is exceptional structural stability, including characteristics like wind resistance, seismic resistance, lightning protection, water and dust resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and electromagnetic interference immunity.
Thus, fortress and super base stations have all the capabilities of traditional base stations, including voice services, signal transmission, and more. However, compared to traditional base stations, they offer enhanced functionalities. Let’s look at their standards!
Fiber Optic Transmission with Dual Physical Routes
Two physical routing paths are deployed, and both use direct burial with deep burial depth. Standard direct burial is 1.2 to 1.5 meters, whereas fortress and super base stations require burial depths greater than 1.5 meters.
Fiber Optic Cable Selection

Fortress and super base stations require fiber optic cables that are less likely to be damaged in the event of a disaster. Therefore, the Flexible Spiral Steel Armored Fiber Optic Cable is used. The outer layer of the cable features flexible spiral steel armor. Flexible spiral steel armored optical cable is designed for data transmission in fortress base stations and super bases. The cable adopts spiral steel armor and has very strong physical resistance. It can effectively prevent rodents from gnawing and reduce the risk of cable damage. The flexible design can help the cable be installed in small spaces or complex terrain areas without affecting performance. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications and has excellent resistance to UV rays, moisture and temperature changes.
Satellite Transmission Support
In the event of landslides or ground fractures that cause fiber optic cables to be damaged, fortress and super base stations are equipped with satellite transmission systems to ensure continuous communication.
Power Supply Assurance
Fortress and super base stations are equipped with reinforced battery systems. If a disaster causes a power outage, these battery systems can supply power for a minimum of 6 days (at least 144 hours). The batteries are not standard batteries; they have passed seismic resistance tests and will not be damaged during natural disasters. Additionally, fortress and super base stations are equipped with backup generators, including manual generators.
Seismic Resistance Rating
The primary purpose of fortress and super base stations is to remain operational during disasters. As such, the communication tower poles and hardware are designed with a seismic resistance rating of up to 9.
Emergency Measures
The stations are equipped with emergency monitoring, explosion-proof monitoring, emergency broadcasting systems, drones, BeiDou GPS, telegraph short messages, and even emergency food supplies. These base stations serve not only as communication points but also as temporary command centers.
Conclusion:
In the face of natural disasters, traditional base stations are likely to be completely destroyed, whereas fortress and super base stations will continue to operate reliably. While traditional base stations are built well initially, over time, they deteriorate, and equipment may fail without detection. Without proper maintenance, after 8 to 10 years, these base stations may become very fragile or even damaged without being noticed. Therefore, the large-scale construction of fortress and super base stations is imperative. SOCT Company provides supporting equipment specifically for fortress and super base stations, such as Spiral Steel Armored Fiber Optic Cable, Fiber Optic Splice Closures, and Fiber Optic Connectivity, among others.
