Yes. 
Also very handy in keeping the beer cans cold... Note the strategic
positioning on the tall tower.. Allows for a restful pause during ascends
and descends.

You have to admit, it is pretty innovative, and very comparable to the
Rubber Maid Storage Bins being used for Battery Housing for remote Mountain
Top Antennas.

If anyone cares to see it, I dug up the presentation I did at Broadband
Wireless World 2005 (when it was still independent! Haha) and converted it
to PDF. It's got pics of the enclosures on there and it was previously
published so I should be in the clear from my old boss!
Enjoy!

Re: [WISPA] Outdoor Rated Enclosures - Humor

2008-11-18 Thread Drew Lentz 
We actually did that. We used Outdoor stainless steel "garage refrigerators"
to house Alvarion equipment on towers and it worked extremely well!!

Here's another one:
I don't know if any of y'all ever heard the ramblings of what we did with
our Navini equipment years ago. But, let's just say that we ended up with
"data centers in the sky" which were 12 1/2' tall by 3 1/2' wide and 3'
deep. They weighed 3,600 pounds, contained Navini BTS equipment, a serial
interface router, a Cisco Catalyst 5505, remote power cycling equipment and
2 RV air conditioners.  You entered through the bottom of the "box" and
there was a catwalk underneath the entrance for safety! They were 1/2" steel
lined with Kevlar (it's Texas!!) and blown over with polyurethane!

All this at 460 feet AGL on 480' guyed towers. We saved a TON (ha!) on cable
costs @ 27 runs of LMR-900 each at 500'.

We later moved on to a 9' cylinder design that had 2 19" racks on either
side of the entrance on the bottom.

I think all but 1 of them have been taken down, but that 1 has been through
2 hurricanes and is still serving clients!

I think Marlon has an old refrigerator for an enclosure at one of his sites!

I am looking for a 10x20 reefer enclosure for one of my remote sites.

Never did actually do that.  But I've been told that it works very well.

I do have a site I keep thinking of doing it at.  grin
