Abstract: Embodiments include a power supply that includes a non-waterproof outer housing and a plurality of waterproof electronics modules (WEMs) disposed inside of the outer housing. The WEMs include a battery pack. The power supply also includes a first waterproof fan affixed in a first opening of the outer housing and configured to draw air from outside to inside of the outer housing, and a second waterproof fan affixed in a second opening of the outer housing and configured to draw air from inside to outside. Other embodiments include a WEM configured for use inside of a non-waterproof power supply. The WEM includes a waterproof shell comprising first and second pieces of a material that is waterproof and heat-conductive and a waterproof seal or gasket disposed between the first and second pieces. The WEM also comprises one or more electronic components or an electronic assembly, encased within the shell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing member for a base station antenna and a base station antenna comprising the same as well as a method and device for manufacturing the sealing member. The sealing member (2) is flexible and resilient and is configured to form a seal between an open end (5) of a radome (3) and an end cap (1) of the base station antenna. The sealing member is an elongated sealing strip having two ends, wherein the two ends of the sealing member are lappable with each other, and the sealing member has a groove extending over its entire length, which groove is defined by two side limbs and a bottom limb connecting the two side limbs of the sealing member, wherein the groove is configured to engage with an edge of the open end (5) of the radome, and wherein the sealing member is configured to be received in an annular recess of the end cap (1) and isolate an interior of the radome (3) from the environment.
