The apparatus includes an upper capsule, a lower shroud, a tubular housing, a stopper, a mounting pole, a support post, and a pulley assembly. The upper capsule covers the tubular housing which surrounds the mounting pole. The lower shroud upholds and encloses the tubular housing. The stopper upholds the mounting pole above the support post. The mounting pole serves as a platform to mount wireless communication equipment. The support post elevates the mounting pole and consequently the wireless communication equipment above the ground. The pulley assembly raises and lowers the tubular housing and the lower shroud along the support post. The pulley assembly facilitates the accessibility of the wireless communication equipment.
