CUE DEE attended as speaker and exhibitor at Green World Conferences for the
very first time. This time it was held in
Stockholm, Sweden.
This project is SCA Energy´s own project.
Otherwise they also establish wind mill
farms in cooperation with other partners,
such as Eon.
This is a solution that many have waited
for and now we can transport CuePoles
in pieces for very easy assembly on site.
On the 12-14 of November it is time for
AfricaCom again, the largest meeting
place for the Telecom industry on the African continent in Cape Town, South-Africa.
I think the above describes a bit of
the essence of CUE DEE today, fast developments of new products together with
customers or products developed from
internal ideas fully developed on our own.
Also the focus on marketing and sales
that we always have had but now further
strengthened by the increase of resources.

Secondly we are presenting a new Cue
Pole which is a CUE DEE developed product
which we think fits the market demands
very well with it´s environmental friendly
approach. Now in this new version with a
much better possibility to export the product due to the modular system with about
two meter long pieces that are built together at site. We think this will be big seller in the market.
We are also presenting two new employees both in the area of sales and marketing which shows our ambition for further
growth.

as a single block or a shopping mall, for example.
“This might seem like an easy task, a piece
of metal with some holes in it, but it takes a lot
of engineering to figure out the optimum solu-
tion to create the flexibility and easy assembly
that is demanded”, says J-O Hemmervall, R&D
Manager at CUE DEE.
The result is a range of four products including:
Base unit mRRU (with or without extension)
The base unit can be used in single version –
for tilting only – or in double version (two identical units) for combined tilting and panning.

New sales office in China
CUE DEE has established a new sales office in Suzhou, close to Shanghai in China.
“We anticipate increasing volumes in China
and the rest of Southeast Asia and this is why
we have taken this step”, says Lars Olofsson,
president at CUE DEE.
“Our intention is to support our distributor
Elektroskandia in Shanghai on this very interesting and expansive market.”
The introduction of CUE DEE in China has
so far been quite successful and orders and
quotations are rolling in.
“There is lots of activity all over Southeast

next year.”
Back Office Sales Engineer
9-10 september PONTUS from CUE DEE
attended as speaker and exhibitor at the annual Baltic Wind Power conference for the very
first time. This time the conference was held in
Stockholm, Sweden, and around 100 persons
gathered to learn and discuss about wind energy issues.
“There were some interesting potential
customers and I also gave a presentation on
wind measurement masts”, says Pontus Ersmyre, sales manager for wind related products
at CUE DEE.
Wind at CUE DEE
The Baltic Wind Power conference participation
is one of the steps taken in order to intensify
the CUE DEE marketing of wind measurement
masts outside Scandinavia. Pontus has several bookings in his calendar regarding different
exhibitions and lectures he is planning to take
part in.
Hi! My name is Britta Larsson and
I´m the new Back Office Sales Engineer here
at CUE DEE. I have recently graduated from
Jönköping International Business School and
I am new in this industry.
Lots to choose from
“You could spend all your time travelling around
to different events regarding wind energy and
green solutions. We need to evaluate and pinpoint those that are the most interesting for our
customers.”
I am looking forward to work at CUE
DEE and I hope that I can provide the service
CUE DEE`s customer expects from the
company.

“The CUE DEE masts slim design
and good resistance to ice load
will be advantageous in this case”
Wind is more reliable and constant further up from the ground, this
calls for even higher wind turbines. Then wind measurement at higher
levels is needed, this correlation is the main reason why SCA Energy
established their highest wind measurement mast to date in September
2013.
“We can estimate, but never really be sure of what to expect at higher
altitudes. This is why we this time invested in one 140 m mast and two
120 m masts from CUE DEE. The highest mast is strategically located in
order to give representative data for the largest area possible in the park.
All masts are of course equipped with measurement equipment on different levels”, says Henrik Karlsson, Project Manager at SCA Energy AB.
Higher
and higher
First 140 m mast
The 120 m masts at the site called Björnsjöbodarna in northern Sweden
are constructed of K-600 strong modules. The highest 140 m, the first
CUE DEE mast of this height for SCA Energy, has a base of K-900 up to 78
m where a special frame carries the rest of the K-600 strong sections up
to 140 meters. SCA has previously been using CUE DEE masts of heights
up to 120 m.
140 m mast gives more reliable data
6 This project is SCA Energy´s own project. Otherwise they also establish wind farms in cooperation with other partners, such as Eon. Ice
and snow is of course a very important issue at this new location where
there is winter for almost six months a year. The CUE DEE masts’ slim
design and good resistance to ice load will be advantageous in this case.
Winter data crucial
“While the winter season is the most important one, from energy production point of view, we really need to get reliable winter wind data and we
must rely on the equipment to produce them also in the harshest weather conditions. This is also why we have different kinds of instruments
that also are heated and ice classed”, Henrik Karlsson explains.
After one year´s measurement SCA Energy will perform the first wind
analysis with data from their new masts. The measurement will then
continue another year for a final evaluation.
“Maybe we will demount the masts after this time, maybe the measurement will continue. It is too soon to tell.”
SCA Energy plans for wind turbines
No.of wind turbines: 190
Location: Björnsjöbodarna, Stugun in Northern Sweden.
Topography: 12 000 ha (120 square km), five different production areas,

stronger
and better
This is new CuePole
A modular pole system for telecom antennas.
Diameter:
440 mm
Modules:
5.4, 3.6, and 1.8 meters.
Five standard heights:
10.4-17.6 meters (including radome).
Antenna assembly:
in a top cone of fiber glass, all accessories
pre-mounted inside the hollow pole.
Potential best-seller worldwide
Material:
Spruce veneer, top coat oak.
Coating:
Protective coating as standard, other alternatives possible.
Thanks to the new modular build-up the CuePole has potential to
be a best-seller worldwide. “We have already made pilot installations in
Norway and have new orders for around ten poles.”
Attila Fabian, Sales Manager Telecom at CUE DEE, is very enthusiastic
about the new CuePole, a telecom monopole made of wood.
“The demand for a telecom pole that can blend in is huge in urban
areas all over the world. This is a solution that many have waited for and
now we can cost efficency transport CuePoles in pieces for very easy
assembly on site.”
Foundations:
Different foundations solutions available for ground or rock mounting.
“This is a solution that many have waited for”
The CuePole was introduced a few years ago and caused lots of interest. There where though two major setbacks. The pole was manufactured in one piece (causing some transport issues) and the pole supplier
decided to close down.
“After intense searching we found a new supplier that had lots of
experience in producing similar wooden poles, but in easy-to-handle
modules, to the energy industry. Together we have adapted this technique and created a new CuePole – stronger, better and with much better
logistic prerequisites”, says J-O Hemmervall, R&D Manager.
“We also made a bending test, but we did not manage to crack the pole
before the metal bolt on the tractor broke down. But of course we will
continue to challenge the pole to make sure that it will last in different
climates and so on.”
The CUE DEE R&D department also works hard to develop a complete set of different foundations, new coatings and accessories to the
new CuePole. News are released in a fast and steady pace, please turn
to CUE DEE for the latest up-date!
Tests continue
“Based on the experiences from the energy industry we are positive that
the strength and durability of the wooden pole at least matches a similar
one of metal. The supplier has a pole that has been buried in the ground
for over 20 years and only the outer layers of the veneer are affected (the
new CuePole has a total of 20 layers)!

Advantages
Fast and easy assembly.
The modules are thread on top of each other and then bolted together. All
equipment is preassembled on the inside prior to the assembly on site.
Recyclable and carbon dioxide neutral material.
Manufactured of high quality spruce veneer from Nordic countries. Topcoat made of oak from central Europe. The glue used during the manufacturing process is also fully degradable, leaving no hazardous residues.
Esthetic impression with many design possibilities.
Different coatings possible, making it possible to use the pole as an architectural element, matching the surrounding environment or making
an artistic statement of its own.
Multiple uses
Different kinds of lamps, signs, flags or other equipment can be adapted.
Maybe a nice wooden bench around the base of the pole?
Camouflaged telecom capacity.
No-one needs to know where the antennas are, less optical impact of
telecom equipment in urban areas.
Secure installations in urban environment
The installations are safe and hidden. No risk of vandalism on installed
equipment.
Light-weight solution
• The CuePole is significantly lighter than a corresponding one in metal.
• Easier to handle and install.
• Logistic advantages
• Low weight and the modular system makes it easy to transport the poles all over the world.

Sales Manager Nordic Countries
My job is
to serve the installers
Bahram Larsson is new Sales Manager
Nordic Countries at CUE DEE. He is 38 years
old, has an education in economics and a solid background within sales, most recently at
Elektroskandia in Stockholm where he worked
with telecom sales.
“It feels like a very exciting opportunity to
take on this new challenge. At CUE DEE I will
work with a limited number of products, compared to my old job where I dealt with some
250 000 articles”, says Bahram Larsson.
“While working at Elektroskandia I noticed
that the CUE DEE products are very popular
and I think that I have joined a winner.”
One of his first assignments will be to
establish a cooperation with the Norwegian
company Otra, which is a sister company to
Elektroskandia, regarding logistics and supply
of CUE DEE products in general and the Tele 2
rollout in particular. Otherwise his main market
area will be the Nordic countries and the Baltic
countries.
“While the other key account Sales Managers Patrick Hedlund and Attila Fabian will
focus on key account customers such as Ericsson and NSN, my job is to serve the installers.”
New office in Stockholm
In connection with the recruitment of Bahram,
CUE DEE also establishes an office in Kista,
Stockholm, which will be his “home base”.
The office will also serve as a hub for other
meetings in Stockholm and as a temporary
workplace for CUE DEE employees, close to
the airport.
father, whom his Finnish mother met in Munich, Germany. His last name Larsson (a very
common Swedish name) was given to him
when his mother married a Swede that she
met in Moscow, Russia. Bahram was brought
up in Finland, moved to Sweden when he was
nine year old, and still speaks Finnish.
“This might come in handy while we are
aiming to intensify our sales efforts in Finland
too”, says Bahram.
Personal
Bahram Larson lives in Stockholm with his fiancée and likes to take part in different sport
activities in his spare time. He has been a
quite active soccer and floorball player. He still
plays, but on a more recreational level.

telecom market
“The African market is very expansive and interesting, but there are lots of challenges – for
the acting operators and also for us as suppliers of site hardware.”
Patrick Hedlund, Sales Manager Telecom, gives
us a market orientation regarding the SubSaharan countries, 50 of them to be precise,
with a population of over 800 million speaking
around 1000 different languages.
Reverse expansion
“Of course this enormous area is very diverse,
but there are some things in common. There
are two major operators, MTN and Zain Airtel,
operating in 19 countries. Everywhere the need
for basic or enhanced telecommunication is
great and the governments are struggling to
achieve the most for the money.
Typically there is very poor infrastructure, which makes the development almost reverse to the more industrialized countries: the
telecom expansion comes first, also in areas
where there are very poor roads and no electrical grid. This fact makes it very difficult and expensive to establish and operate telecom sites.
This is why MCR solutions are very interesting
in Africa, supplying the sites with solar or hydro
electricity and using satellites for communications.”
Site managers
“Another interesting development is the site
sharing where special companies manages the
sites and rent them out to one or more operators. One example is American Towers that
according to their website today owns and manages 55 000 telecom sites in the USA and in
Africa.”
Hello Africa,
CUE DEE calling
On the 12-14 of November it is time for
AfricaCom again, the largest meeting place
for the Telecom industry on the African continent in Cape Town, South-Africa.
CUE DEE will take part in their distribution partner Elektroskandia’s stand with
sales representatives Patrick Hedlund and
Attila Fabian and the CUE DEE product
portfolio, focusing on clamps, brackets and
towers for the African market. This is the
same arrangement as last year and both
parties hope for lots of attention also this
year.
The AfricaCom theme is 2013 “Building
Africa’s digital economy” with a focus on
Wimax and cost efficient networks.
Speaks for CUE DEE
“There are several aspects that speak for CUE
DEE in Africa. We offer an interesting MCR site
solution, our high quality products are well
suited to cope with the climate and the easy
assembly is also very advantageous in cases
when the assembly personnel has less training.
On the other hand our solutions might be considered a bit too expensive (at least in the short
run). This is why we cooperate with our logistic
partner Elektroskandia in Africa in order to find
fitting technical solutions and to establish a
good supply chain.”
