Croom's customised telecom shelter for the mast site was implemented in collaboration
Digita is a provider of digital infrastructure and services and the country's largest independent owner of telecommunication masts.
”Digita is using digital infrastructure to build a Finnish society that offers the best opportunities in the world to live, be, try and excel today and tomorrow”
Together, Croom and Digita created a telecom shelter solution that protects communications equipment and ensures network performance.
'I have always been satisfied with what Croom's work. Cooperation has been easy and they are service-oriented''

The mast site could not use a standard telecom shelter
Digita had a mast site in Pirkanmaa that needed a telecom shelter that protects communications equipment, fittings and the backup power system. Because of the site’s special requirements, a standard model did not meet the needs. Shelter was tailored according to Digita’s specifications to blended seamlessly into the surroundings. In addition, the timeframe for the delivery of the shelter was relatively tight. The collaboration started with Digita sending the initial information to Croom.
''The project started from the need to create a customized equipment room for the site. Industrial site, industrial environment and the adjacent warehouse building created certain technical needs for the permitting, such as how the equipment shelter would blend into the surroundings'' - Jani Pyykkö, Solution Manager, Digita Oy
A customised solution was designed together
Based on the initial data, we created preliminary plans to define structures, dimensions, equipping, and their placement. 3D model was shared with Digita, and it was improved iteratively together until it met all the needs.
In this project, Croom was responsible for:
- Designing the structure together with Digita to meet their needs
- Construction, electrification and equipping of the telecom shelter, including, e.g., the DC device installations
- Planning the location and foundations of the telecom shelter with the civil engineer and the delivery of the equipment shelter to the on top of agreed foundation.
The overall visual design
The modular telecom shelter combines a sophisticated solution with energy efficiency while protecting equipment - regardless of the weather.
A well-finished and comprehensively equipped shelter supports reliability and enables smooth operation of the system.
Summary
Overall, the project went well resulting in reliable delivery without challenges. Although the solution was customized, various equipping and structures are familiar to Croom. Communication with Digita was seamless, as the needs, equipping, and project details were thoroughly reviewed during the planning phase and overall communication was clear.
''The team gave good feedback on the site, it fits in perfectly with the surroundings. You would think it was always part of the environment.'' - Jani Pyykkö, Solution Manager, Digita Oy
