Abstract: A base assembly for a monopole includes: an elongate monopole with a lower end; a base plate with a hole, the lower end of the monopole inserted into the hole; and a reinforcing ring encircling the lower end of the monopole, the reinforcing ring having upper and lower ends. A first weld is present between the upper end of the reinforcing ring and the monopole; a second weld is present between the lower end of the reinforcing ring, the base plate, and the monopole, and a third weld is present between the lower end of the monopole and an outer surface of the hole.

Abstract: A module for a base station monopole has a wall defining an interior space. The wall includes an opening configured to receive electronic equipment and a vent opening in communication with the exterior of the module. A reinforcement member is secured to the wall and is positioned opposite to the opening and adjacent the vent opening. A baffle is supported adjacent the wall where the baffle has an intake opening and an exhaust opening in communication with the vent opening. The intake opening is laterally offset from the exhaust opening.

Abstract: A mounting flange for a monopole includes a generally annular main panel surrounding a central hole. The main panel includes a plurality of first mounting holes that are substantially circumferentially equidistant from each other and at a first radial distance from a center of the central hole. The main panel also includes a plurality of second mounting holes that are substantially circumferentially equidistant from each other and at a second radial distance from a center of the central hole, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a monopole door hinge assembly. The assembly may comprise a monopole comprising a door, the monopole and door both having an interior surface, and a plurality of hinges. Each hinge may comprise a base member configured to be secured to the interior surface of the monopole; and a rib member having a supporting portion and a mounting portion, the supporting portion having an arcuate profile that corresponds to an arcuate profile of the interior surface of the door and the mounting portion is pivotably attached to the base member. The base member of each hinge is mounted to the interior surface of the monopole and the supporting portion of each hinge is mounted to the interior surface of the door, thereby securing the door to the monopole.
