Abstract
The invention relates to a pole (1) for the transmission of electric power and/or telecommunication signals. The material of the pole includes reinforced concrete with a reinforcement of non-magnetic material. The pole has a length in the range of 2 to 25 m and a maximum cross section dimension less than 0.5 m. According to the invention the pole (1) is hollow along at least a part of its length extension with a cavity (20) surrounded by a layer (9) of reinforced concrete. The pole (1) includes electric power transmission components (14-17) and/or telecommunication components (11-13) arranged in the cavity (20). The electric power transmission components (14-17) include at least one of the components: transformer, energy storage, control equipment and inverter/converter. The telecommunication components (11-13) include at least one of the components: ICT-equipment, transmitter, receiver and antenna. The invention also relates to the use of such poles and to a method related thereto.
