Adaptable remote radio unit mounting frame

Abstract

A prism-like frame for mounting telecom equipment made of a prism-like skeleton, which in turn is made of at least three vertical members coupled with at least six horizontal members, and at least one open panel connected to at least one lateral side of the skeleton, wherein the panel includes at least two horizontal members arranged apart from each other and away from the bottom and top of the skeleton.

1 . A frame for mounting telecom equipment configured to stand on a horizontal surface and comprising a skeleton, made of at least three vertical members associated with at least six horizontal members, said at least six horizontal members being associated to form two polygonal shapes, and such that the skeleton has a bottom side, a top side and at least three, all adjoining, lateral sides, and at least one open panel associated with at least one lateral side of the skeleton, wherein the at least one open panel comprises at least two horizontal members arranged apart from each other and away from the bottom and the top edge of the at least one open panel. 
     
     
         2 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the open panel has a rectangular shape and consists of a bottom horizontal member, a top horizontal member and two vertical members, all four members being associated such that to create the rectangular shape, and four horizontal members coplanar with the rectangular shape and associated at their ends, at a right angle, with the vertical members, two of the horizontal members being grouped at the bottom and two of the horizontal members being grouped at the top of the open panel, such that, on each group of horizontal members, two telecom equipment units can be mounted, one on each side of the open panel. 
     
     
         3 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein each lateral side of the skeleton has an open panel associated with it, and wherein at least one of the open panels is associated with the skeleton through a combination of hinge and locking mechanism, such that the at least one of the panels functions as a door. 
     
     
         4 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the skeleton has four lateral sides, wherein each lateral side of the skeleton has an open panel associated with it, and wherein at least one of the open panels is associated with the skeleton through a combination of hinge and locking mechanism, such that the at least one of the open panels functions as a door, and wherein the exterior surface of all open panels is coplanar with the exterior surface of the associated lateral side of the skeleton when the open panels are in closed position. 
     
     
         5 . The frame of  claim 4 , wherein each open panel comprises two vertical members associated with at least two horizontal members.
