Abstract: An enclosed antenna-RRU unit includes: an enclosure comprising a front wall, first and second side walls, a floor, a ceiling, and a rear wall; an internal support plate located adjacent the rear wall within the enclosure; an RRU mount plate mounted to the internal support plate; and an antenna-RRU unit housed in the enclosure and mounted to the RRU mount plate.

Abstract: An adjustable mount for an antenna includes: a generally vertical pole; a plurality of rails mounted adjacent the pole's upper end, each of the rails including a cap with a mounting hole at its upper end; a mounting foundation having a base panel and a mounting platform positioned above the base panel, the base panel including a set of discontinuous slots extending at an oblique angle to a radius originating at a center point of the base panel; a plurality of threaded members inserted into the mounting hole of a respective one of the rails and one of the set of discontinuous slots to mount the mounting foundation above the upper end of the pole; and a plurality of nuts threaded onto a respective threaded member beneath the base panel. Rotation of the nut relative to the threaded member causes an overlying section of the base panel to move vertically.

Abstract: An electronics enclosure includes: a housing having a floor, a ceiling, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, and a door mounted to one of the side walls that define an internal cavity; a first generally vertically-disposed mounting blade; first electronic equipment mounted on the first mounting blade; and a first sliding mechanism mounted to the housing and to the first mounting blade, the sliding mechanism configured to permit the first mounting blade and the first electronic equipment to move between a retracted position, in which the first mounting blade is positioned in the internal cavity, and an extended position, in which the first mounting blade is positioned forwardly of the internal cavity to facilitate access to the first electronic equipment.
