Patent attributes
The present invention is a pole-mountable shroud assembly enclosing one or more wireless telecommunications transceivers and antennas. The shroud assembly is attached to the pole by a pole bracket, which is an elongated rectangular prism frame. The outer face of the pole bracket is open, so as to expose at least one intake fan supported by the pole bracket. The top and bottom ends of the pole bracket support top and bottom panels, respectively, with the bottom panel having multiple holes and/or vents, through which the intake fan(s) draw ambient air to cool the transceivers. A jacking means, such as a screw jack, connects the bottom panel to the pole bracket bottom end so that the panel separation distance is adjustable. A very thin (not more than one-tenth the minimum transmission wavelength) fabric membrane wraps around the top and bottom panels to the longitudinal sides of the pole bracket, so as to form a generally rectangular prism shaped shroud enclosure which surrounds the transceivers/antennas. The jacking means is operative to tension the fabric membrane around the shroud enclosure.
