Does anyone know who to contact in the Pretoria / Centurion areas to rent high sites for wireless networking? We are looking at water towers / cellular masts or private towers to rent space for WISP.

That is like saying "who do I rent houses from in Pretoria" :p There are hundreds of landlords that own highsites of various kinds.

Water towers are usually a no-go for commercial ventures since there are big concerns about the safety of critical infrastructure like water supply. Cell towers are also not going to be an option since all the cellphone operators have strict rules about exclusive access to towers so that their networks don't get damaged.

You best bet is to drive around looking for sites. Find out who the landlords are and phone them.

Hi, thanx for the reply.

I have been driving around and have a few towers we're interested in - the only thing is to find out who the landlords are. How can I find out who owns the towers, as they are not "labled". Will estate agents know this?

I did see a couple of water towers with wireless equipment installed on it. I'll contact the town council, maybe we'll get lucky :)

Kinetix,

go download Windeed (windeed.co.za) that lets you search through the Deeds Office records. That will give you the owner of the deed for a specific property...

Good luck...

bawrak,

Thank you for the info. Seems this might take some time. Pity there's no website with high site ownsers / landlords (they could potentially make more money though)...

Maybe we must look at putting up our own towers (which will cost a lot more than renting space), but then it's ours...

windeed.co.za is not cheap - pay per search and depending on the info you want, just pay more...

$@# en betaal is die wet van Transvaal...

Deal through PTA WUG, I understand that water towers access can be aranged through them for free. As long as the Highsite caters for the PTwug too.
