Abstract
A mounting arrangement for securing a remote radio unit in combination with a telecommunications tower or elevated structure for mounting a telecommunication antenna. The mounting arrangement includes a docking station comprising: (i) a control unit having at least two openings through an upper wall of the control unit for receiving each remote radio unit, (ii) a sealing gasket disposed about the periphery of each opening; (iii) at least one pair of guide rails projecting upwardly from the upper wall of the control unit and between the at least two openings, and (iv) a mechanism for producing a watertight seal between the control unit and each remote unit. The control unit defines an internal enclosure for housing an electronic interface configured to provide digital energy and exchange data between each remote unit and a base station. The guide rails of the docking station are configured to slidably receive, and guide each of the remote unit into the openings of the control unit. The sealing mechanism is configured to forcibly urge each remote unit against the sealing gasket to produce a watertight seal therebetween.
