  • Patent number: 4951433
    Abstract: A CMR (Cellular Mobile Radiotelephone) Cell Site includes a structurally compact and easily transportable foundation for a CMR equipment edifice. The foundation, together with the edifice, rests on a leveled surface. An antenna tower is mounted on the roof of the edifice and is secured by an antenna mounting brace embedded in the roof of the edifice. The antenna is guyed at three elevations along the antenna's height to three points on the foundation. The edifice encloses a 10-inch-square, steel support column, positioned within the edifice directly beneath the antenna mounting brace, for supporting the antenna tower. Four-inch-thick slabs of concrete are inserted between the floor of the edifice and the support column and between the support column and the roof so as to isolate the interior of the building from electrical disturbances such as lightening.

  • Patent number: 4912893
    Abstract: CMR (Cellular Mobile Radiotelephone) equipment is disposed in a configuration that facilitates both transportation to a cell site and, at the site, rapid installation of the CMR equipment and accompanying antenna tower. The CMR equipment incorporates a foundation that includes (i) a rectangular center structure formed from a front horizontal section, a rear horizontal section, a left vertical section, and a right vertical section, and (ii) a nose structure attached to and extending vertically from the front horizontal section. A self-contained CMR equipment edifice, having four walls, a floor and a roof, is secured to the rectangular center structure of the foundation by a plurality of flanges positioned at predetermined locations on the edifice and affixed to both the foundation and walls of the edifice. Several antenna tower sections are attached to the edifice by a number of identical antenna mounting assemblies.
