Abstract
A de-icing system and method for mitigating the accumulation of snow and ice on components of a communication tower includes a de-icing assembly attached to a component of a communications tower, and an air supply. The de-icing assembly includes a backing member, a pneumatic tube affixed to the backing member, and a fastener for affixing the backing to the component of the tower. The pneumatic tube is configured to be periodically inflated and deflated by the air supply to dislodge any snow or ice accumulated thereon. A controller monitors signals from a plurality of sensors to initiate the cycling of the inflation and deflation of the pneumatic tubes upon a determination that an accumulation of snow or ice is present on the component of the tower or the de-icing assembly.
