Guyed Towers are slender, vertical structures stabilized by high-tension steel cables (guy wires) anchored to the ground. Their design leverages tensioned support systems to achieve extreme heights (60–300m+) with minimal material use, making them ideal for wide-area coverage where land is abundant but budget is constrained.
