Radio assembly with modularized radios and interconnects

A radio assembly, comprising:

• at least one radio module and a radome;
• the radio module having a heatsink disposed on one side, a radio module base on the other side thereof, the radio module base being disposed between the heat sink and the radome, the heatsink defining a cable channel for routing at least one power cable and at least one data cable;
• a cable bridge configured to be removably inserted into the cable channel, the cable bridge including:
• a plurality of apertures;
• a plurality of gaskets, each of the plurality of gaskets configured to seal a perimeter of a respective cable aperture of the plurality of cable apertures;
• a cap configured to be removably fitted to the cable bridge;
• a reflector, the radio module base being disposed on the reflector, the radio module base including a plurality of standoffs, the plurality of standoffs configured to offset a substantial portion of the radio module from the reflector;
• the radome including a plurality of antennas, the reflector being disposed on the radome;
• at least one pin, the at least one pin configured to fasten the radio module base to the reflector;
• a faceplate interface board (FIB), the FIB including:
• a plurality of opto-electronic connectors;
• and
• a power unit;
• and
• at least one power cable in communication with the power unit, the at least one power cable being routed to the at least one radio via the cable bridge and at least one cable aperture;
• at least one data cable in communication with the at least one opto-electronic connector, the at least one data cable being routed to the radio via the cable bridge and the at least one cable aperture;
• the at least one power cable and the at least one data cable are non-hardened cables;
• and
• the at least one pin is at least one of aligned and misaligned with a back lobe of a row of the plurality of antennas.
