A system for mounting a telecommunication device to a pole comprises a pole-mount kit and a first bracket. The pole-mount kit has first and second clamps for engaging opposite sides of the pole. The pole-mount kit has threaded fasteners extending through openings in the first and second clamps such that a first one of the threaded fasteners is on one side of the pole, and a second one of the threaded fasteners is on the other side of the pole. The threaded fasteners retain the first and second clamps in a fixed engagement on the pole. The first clamp has at least one bore extending through the first clamp in a direction that is transverse to the openings. The first bracket is fixed to the first clamp via a first clamp fastener that extends through the bore. The first bracket is used for mounting the telecommunication device.

A fixing device capable of reducing a burden on an operator when adjusting an inclination of communication equipment is achieved. A fixing device includes: a first jig configured to fix communication equipment; a second jig configured to rotatably support the first jig about a rotation shaft; a ratchet mechanism configured to be capable of switching restraint or permission of rotation of the first jig in one direction with respect to the second jig due to weight of the communication equipment, and permit rotation of the first jig in another direction with respect to the second jig; and a biasing member configured to store biasing force when the first jig rotates in one direction with respect to the second jig due to weight of the communication equipment, and bias rotation of the first jig in another direction with respect to the second jig.

A small cell includes a housing and an antenna support bracket mountable within the housing. The bracket includes a base member and a flange member. The base member supports a substrate of an antenna. The flange member is positioned along a first edge of the base member and extends away from the base member in a first direction. The flange member includes at least one generally hook-shaped arm member configured to engage a hook receiving element integrated with or attached to a sidewall of the small cell housing. The antenna support bracket may further include a second flange member positioned along a second edge of the base member and extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A non-conductive spacer may be adhered to a surface of the second flange member to provide electrical isolation between an electrically conductive fastener and the surface of the second flange member.

A remotely controllable antenna mount (100) for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna (102) provides mechanical azimuth and tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units (171/192) and AISG control and monitoring systems to remotely adjust the physical orientation of the antenna. The mount control units are serially interconnected with AISG antenna control units (ACUs) (104) which adjust electronic tilt mechanisms within the antenna itself. An AISG compatible mount azimuth control unit (MACU) (171) drives rotatable movement of the antenna through a range of azimuth angle positions. The antenna mount further includes a mechanical downtilt assembly interconnected between the antenna interface and the antenna. An AISG compatible mount tilt control unit (MTCU) (192) drives a linear actuator for physical downtilt of the antenna through a range of tilt angle positions.

Mounting systems and methods to secure a radio antenna are provided. A mechanical interlock assembly may include a head section and an insert section. The head section may include a laterally extending portion and a housing adjacent to the laterally extending portion. The head section may be adapted to couple with a pivotable coupling via the laterally extending portion, where the pivotable coupling is adapted to pivotably couple with an antenna assembly. The insert section may be adapted to couple with a pole coupling of a support member of a tower structure. The insert section may be adapted to fit into the housing of the head section, where the housing is adapted to receive the insert section. The insert section may fit into the housing of the head section to mechanically interlock the head section with the insert section to allow suspension of the antenna assembly from the support pole.

An assembly for mounting one or more RRUs to a mounting structure includes: first and second mounting panels, each of the first and second mounting panels having a main body and a flange that extends generally perpendicularly to the main body, the main body including mounting apertures patterned for mounting of an RRU; a mounting foundation having side edges, each of the side edges having an open-ended slot; mounting members extending from the flanges away from the main body of each of the first and second mounting panels, the mounting members configured to enter the open-ended slots on the mounting foundation and slide therein, and fasteners cooperating with the mounting members to mount the mounting panel to the mounting foundation.

A removeable satellite antenna pointing tool can include a mounting gear releasably engageable with a pole that supports a satellite antenna. The removeable satellite antenna pointing tool can also include an azimuth gear subsystem housed in a frame and engaged with the mounting gear and a motor that drives the azimuth gear subsystem, wherein actuation of the motor causes the frame to rotate about the pole. The removeable satellite antenna pointing tool can further include a linear drive that controls an elevation of a control shaft engageable with a fixture attached to the satellite antenna. Actuation of the motor can change an azimuth of the satellite antenna and actuation of the linear drive can change an elevation of the satellite antenna.

The present disclosure relates to an antenna mounting device for antenna assembly, where the antenna assembly comprises a base station antenna that extends longitudinally and a remote radio unit. The antenna mounting device comprises a first mounting unit, a second mounting unit and an optional third mounting unit. The first mounting unit is configured to pivotally connect a remote radio unit to a foundational component and provide the antenna assembly with a pivot point relative to the foundational component. The second mounting unit is configured to connect the base station antenna to a foundational component in the longitudinal extension direction of the base station antenna, below the first mounting unit and at a distance from the first mounting unit. The second mounting unit has an adjustable effective connection length between the base station antenna and foundational component, where the effective connection length determines the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna assembly. The present disclosure further comprises an antenna system of the antenna mounting device.

A remotely controllable antenna mount for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna provides both mechanical azimuth and mechanical tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units and AISG control and monitoring systems to remotely adjust the physical orientation of the antenna. The mount control units are serially interconnected with existing AISG antenna control units (ACU's) which adjust internal electronic tilt of the antenna. The present solution provides the ability to both physically aim the antenna to adjust coverage area and also adjust the signal phase to fine tune the quality of the signal.
