The present disclosure describes a cable mounting bracket, The bracket includes a pair of clamping members configured to be secured to a mounting structure, a pair of rods extending outwardly from the pair of clamping members, and a main panel comprising a plurality of apertures, each aperture being configured to receive and secure a cable hanger to the main panel. The pair of rods couples the main panel with the pair of clamping members and positions the main panel a distance from the mounting structure.

A modular structural element (20) which is arranged to be connected to another such element so as to form an assembled structure, wherein the modular structural element is of substantially square outline or of substantially hexagonal or half-hexagonal outline, and the element comprises a principal height dimension and a principle lateral dimension, wherein, a ratio of the two said principal dimensions is no more than 6.

The present disclosure describes monopole platform assembly. The platform assembly includes a frame, the frame including an elongate, hollow main support member of rectangular cross-section, and a plurality of elongate, hollow auxiliary support members of rectangular cross-section attached orthogonally to the main support member; a mounting plate coupled to an end of the main support member; at least two grating edge members coupled to the auxiliary support members; and a grating, the grating being supported by the two grating edge members, the auxiliary support members, and the main support member. The opposing ends of each auxiliary support member extend a distance outwardly passed the grating edge members such that the extended ends of the auxiliary support members are positioned to support a horizontal pipe member. The extended ends of the auxiliary support members each include a feature configured to enable fixing of the horizontal pipe member thereto. Additional platform assemblies are described herein.

The present disclosure describes strand mounts for small cell radios. The strand mount includes a frame including opposing frame sections, each frame section is configured such that one or more radios and/or antennas can be mounted to an outer surface of the respective frame section and extend outwardly therefrom, an extension member coupled to an end of the frame and configured such that one or more radios and/or antennas can be mounted thereto, the extension member being configured to rotate to a desired angle relative to the frame to achieve a desired azimuth, and one or more mounting clamps coupled to the frame, the one or more mounting clamps being configured to secure the strand mount on a cable strand. Alternative strand mounts and strand mount assemblies are also described.

Antenna tower construction/deconstruction biasing assemblies are provided. The biasing assemblies can be configured to extend between a standard and an antenna tower. The assemblies can include: an adjustable linear extension extending between a first end configured to couple with the standard and a second end configured to couple with the antenna tower; and a biasing mechanism configured to adjust the length of the linear extension and maintain the rigid engagement during transitioning of the tower from a down/erect position to an erect/down position. Methods for constructing/deconstructing an antenna tower are provided. The methods can include providing a biasing assembly.

A mounting assembly for a base station antenna includes a pair of clamp brackets, a mounting bracket configured to be connected to the base station antenna and a lead screw sub-assembly. The lead screw sub-assembly is adapted to pivotably couple the mounting bracket to the pair of clamp brackets. The lead screw sub-assembly comprising a lead screw engaged with at least one clamp bracket of pair of clamp brackets and an adjustment bracket coupled at a first end of lead screw. The adjustment bracket is configured to allow a pivotal movement of mounting bracket with respect to pair of clamp brackets. The lead screw is rotatable within the at least one clamp bracket for adjusting a tilt angle of the base station antenna. The antenna utilizes a single mounting assembly to facilitate mounting of the antenna to the support structure.

An apparatus is disclosed comprising first printed circuit board—PCB—and second PCB structure each having a first surface and a second surface and a layer of electrically conductive material on the first surface thereof and being attached to each other in a substantially parallel configuration. A stripline is positioned between the two PCBs. Each one of the first PCB and the second PCB has a plurality of via-holes that are electrically conductive and are connected at one end to the layer of electrically conductive material on the first surface and to an electrically conductive pad on the second surface of the PCB. At least a first electrically conductive pad associated with the first PCB is located in proximity with a first electrically conductive pad associated with the second PCB thereby forming a capacitive configuration.

A mount main body for a parapet-hanging-type antenna is provided with a vertical support column part (or VSC part) that vertically hangs down along an outer wall surface of parapet. The antenna is installed to VSC part so as not to protrude upward from the parapet. A horizontal support column part (or HSC part) that bends and horizontally extends in a direction orthogonal to the parapet is provided at an upper end of VSC part. The mount main body is provided with a cylinder holding HSC part such that HSC part is movable frontward/backward along a central axis thereof and is rotatable about the central axis. VSC part is made pullable to an inner wall side of the parapet by rotating HSC part about the central axis, and moving HSC part to the inner wall side of the parapet along the central axis.
