Abstract: The subject matter disclosed here relates to a mounting system that facilitates the mounting of a transceiver to an antenna structure in a cellular communication system. In general, the mounting system includes an antenna mounting bracket, a transceiver mounting bracket, and a pair of guide rails. The antenna mounting bracket is configured to attach to the antenna structure while the transceiver mounting bracket is configured to attach to the transceiver. The pair of guide rails are configured to attach to the antenna mounting bracket and include channels to receive corresponding hooked structures on the transceiver mounting bracket. Specifically, the transceiver mounting bracket includes first and second hooked structures, and guide rails include first and second channels that are considered to receive the hooked structures such that the hooked structures can slide into the first and second channels on the guide rails.

Abstract: A process, device and system facilitate mounting of apparatus on a tower. The process includes positioning a tunnel void clip on a strap, positioning the strap on the tower, fastening the strap to the tower, resting a first bracket on the clip, and fastening the first bracket, at a mounting position, onto the tower. The tunnel void clip includes a top portion, inner and outer prongs, a top connecting portion couples the top portion to the outer prong, and to the tops of the inner and outer prongs. A bottom connecting portion couples bottoms of the inner and outer prongs. The top and bottom connecting portions separate the inner and outer prongs to form a void therebetween, and the top and bottom connection portions, the inner and outer prongs and the void collectively form a tunnel void within the tunnel void clip through which the strap may be inserted.

Abstract: A lock adapter includes a first adapter arm and a second adapter arm. The first adapter arm has a first end which mating with a staple of a latch assembly, which, with a corresponding hasp, controls access to a structure. The first adapter arm also has second end configured for mating with the shackle of the lock. The second adapter arm also has a first end and a second end. The first end of the second adapter arm is configured for mating with the first end of the first adapter arm after the first end of the first adapter arm mates with the latch. The second end of the second adapter arm is configured for mating with the shackle of the lock. Upon the lock adapter mating with the staple and with the shackle of the lock, access to the structure via the latch assembly is inhibited.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed here relates to a mounting system that facilitates mounting of an antenna structure or other communication equipment to a tower pole in a cellular communication system. In general, the mounting system includes a mounting bracket and a plurality of bands that encircle the tower pole and pull the mounting bracket toward the tower pole. The mounting bracket includes a mounting surface, two side flanges, and a top and bottom flange. In general, the mounting surface is configured to receive communication equipment and may be configured to attach to multiple different types of antenna structures from different manufacturers. The bracket may thus offer a “universal” type mount. The two side flanges of the mounting bracket extend from the mounting surface at angles that engage with the outer surface of the tower pole.

Abstract: An assembly, devices and processes for protecting electrical equipment may include a first sleeve hemisphere, a first sleeve proximal gasket positioned within the first sleeve hemisphere, a second sleeve hemisphere which mates with the first sleeve hemisphere to form a full sleeve and a second sleeve proximal gasket positioned within the second sleeve hemisphere. A cable protector may be formed by the mating of the first sleeve hemisphere with the second sleeve hemisphere and around at least a cable center section of a cable. The cable center section may be coupled to a cable proximal portion which is further coupled to a cable external proximal portion. When the cable protector is formed, the first sleeve proximal gasket combined with the second sleeve proximal gasket contact and surround the cable proximal portion and inhibit a proximal water inflow from the cable external proximal portion into the cable center section.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for cellular communication components includes a support mast and a mast bracket with w-shaped geometry. The mast bracket includes a central body defining a groove to receive the support mast. The mast bracket also includes a first support tab extending from the central body opposite the groove in a first direction. The first support tab defines a first slot. A second support tab extends from the central body opposite the groove in the first direction with the second support tab substantially parallel to the first support tab and defining a second slot. A device bracket is coupled to the mast bracket and comprises an elongated body to receive cellular equipment. A third support tab extends from the elongated body opposite the mating surface and defines a fifth slot. A fastener extends through the first slot, the second slot, and the fifth slot.
