Abstract:
A module for a communications cell site includes: a mounting frame; a remote radio unit (RRU) mounted to the frame; a radio frequency (RF) signal conditioning unit mounted to the frame; and a cover mounted to the frame that covers the RRU and the RF signal conditioning unit.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are related to digital display devices and base stations such as small cell base stations, which may include at least one antenna and a radio. More specifically, digital display devices are being increasingly deployed in airports, along roads and highways, in shopping malls, in rural or highly urban areas where additional cellular coverage is desirable. These digital display devices provide desirable mounting locations for cellular equipment because they are already powered. One or more components of the base station may be concealed from view by a concealment device to satisfy aesthetic or design requirements. In some aspects, this concealment device may be a fabric radome. In some aspects, the concealment device may be the digital display device itself, because the digital display device is dimensioned such that at least some components of the base station may be hidden behind or within the digital display device.
Abstract:
A cell site sector includes: a mounting frame; an RF antenna mounted to one side of the mounting frame; and at least one (RRU mounted to a second, opposed side of the mounting frame and operationally connected with the antenna. The RRU and the RF antenna have horizontal width and depth dimensions, the width dimension being greater than the depth dimension, wherein the width dimension of the RRU is generally parallel with the width dimension of the RF antenna.
