So in order to build that tower to amplify the signals from Starlink,
it needs to be built differently than that of the space escalator.
The cubes will need to be hollow, to not get in the way of relaying signals.
They would be in frames, rods or beams connecting to each other.
And certain portions of those frames, should be designed to
interconnect signal boosters by wiring.
I would assume the height of the overall structure and weight of the cubes
will be in somewhat manageable size.
So I believe it can work with people, instead machines. (Machine needed to
carry the cubes and place them, following a track but welding can be
done by humans.
So then the cubes themselves, would need to interconnect and have certain
designs that will help the welder to navigate.
Besides the inner core, which would be like a skycraper, the rest that extends
out, is the support, as is the space escalator (not the skycraper on the space escalator, i mean by principles
of structural support so it doesn't fall. Though the space escalator too will have a top point that joins together.
But it is centralized around efficiency of what it will use the structure as leverage, the train that climbs up
not the escalator itself. In this essence, this amplification tower is different. It exists to leverage/boost/amplify
the signals from orbit so it covers the entirety of a city. So how tall that must be and in what ways to amplify is the question).
Whether the innercore is what generates amplification or the entire structure, I don't know
but it should be the entire structure. So the wiring can be thought of in this way.
To extend out as far as it can.
As for solar panels using the hollow frame of the cubes to be installed in its surface,
only if the amplification/boosting signals aren't affected by this.
Otherwise, solar panels or whichever power source should be allocated elsewhere.
