In-ground enclosure system

A telecommunications base station, comprising:

• an enclosure for housing electrical components, comprising:
• an outer shell,
• a first compartment located within the outer shell, comprising a first compartment opening,
• a second compartment located within the outer shell, comprising a second compartment opening,
• a dividing wall separating the first compartment from the second compartment,
• a first compartment cover adapted for removably sealing the first compartment opening, and
• a second compartment cover adapted for removably sealing the second compartment opening;
• a cellular base station, comprising an antenna coupled to signal processing equipment and a power supply, comprising one or both of a battery and an external electrical supply, wherein, in a storage position, the signal processing equipment is positioned within the first compartment and the battery is positioned within the second compartment;
• and
• further comprising an equipment rack comprising an equipment lift system coupled to a base in the first compartment, wherein the first compartment cover is coupled to a top of the equipment rack, and wherein the equipment lift system is adapted to move between a retracted position where the first compartment cover seals the first compartment opening and an extended position where the equipment rack extends through the first compartment opening above the top surface, and wherein the underground signal processing equipment is coupled to the equipment rack,
• wherein the enclosure is adapted for in-ground installation.

An enclosure for housing electrical components, comprising:

• an outer shell;
• a first compartment located within the outer shell;
• an upper panel comprising a first compartment opening for accessing the first compartment;
• a first compartment cover adapted for removably sealing the first compartment opening,
• wherein sidewalls of the in-ground enclosure comprise an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall separated by a sidewall gap, wherein the sidewall gap is filled with a heat transfer particle, wherein a bulk density of the heat transfer particle in the sidewall gap is at least 75% of a density of the heat transfer particle, wherein the enclosure is adapted for in-ground installation.
