Abstract: A system providing an alarm indication for a base transceiver station comprising: a voltage actuated device for sensing power to a tower mounted amplifier (TMA); and an alarm board for sensing an alarm initiated from the voltage actuated device. A method provided for alarm indication for a based transceiver station comprising: triggering a voltage actuated device to provide an alarm upon a loss of power and providing the alarm from the voltage actuated device to an alarm board. A method provided for connecting an alarm for a power out linear amplifier comprising: connecting a voltage actuated device to a power out linear amplifier; connecting the voltage actuated device to an alarm board; connecting the alarm board to a mobile switching center; and connecting the mobile switching center to a diagnostic tool.

Abstract: An equipment enclosure having a cabinet and a fan. The cabinet houses equipment, and the fan cools the equipment. The equipment enclosure also includes at least one vent substantially perpendicular to air flow through the fan. This substantially perpendicularly arranged vent reduces atmospheric/ocean breezes from entering the equipment enclosure and overheating the equipment. The equipment enclosure may also include at least one louvered vent having an open position and a closed position, the open position flowing air to or from the fan, and the closed position reducing the flow of air to or from the fan.

Abstract: A radio base station having a cabinet and a fan. The cabinet houses wireless communication equipment, and the fan cools the wireless communication equipment. The radio base station also includes at least one vent substantially perpendicular to air flow through the fan. This substantially perpendicularly arranged vent reduces atmospheric/ocean breezes from entering the radio base station and overheating the wireless communication equipment. The radio base station may also include at least one louvered vent having an open position and a closed position, the open position flowing air to or from the fan, and the closed position reducing the flow of air to or from the fan. The wireless communication equipment transmits frequencies between 806-960 MHz, between 1710-1885 MHz, or between 2500-2690 MHz.

Abstract: A radio base station for a wireless communication system is disclosed. The radio base station has wireless communication equipment, an enclosure, an air conditioning system, and a notification system. The wireless communication equipment receives, processes, and transmits frequencies in at least one range of 806-960 MHz, 1710-1855 MHz, 2500-2690 MHz, and 2.4 GHz-2.5 GHz. The enclosure has an interior region, and the enclosure houses the wireless communication equipment within the interior region. The air conditioning system cools the interior region. The notification system monitors the air conditioning system, and the notification system communicates with a communications network and sends a notification when the air conditioning system operates. The notification system thus provides an alert when the air conditioning system is cooling the wireless communication equipment.
