A formable foam material, such as a polyurethane material, is configured as a formable aesthetic housing around the carbon fiber skeleton, and a hardened polymer coating over the formable foam material is adapted to a shape of the formable aesthetic housing. The hardened polymer coating resists environmental conditions that may otherwise hamper performance of the wireless technology equipment. Additionally, an antenna housing module encloses antennas of the wireless technology equipment, is integrated with the carbon fiber skeleton, and is designed to pass millimeter wave (mmW) spectrum wireless signals. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A small cell installation structure, comprising: a carbon fiber skeleton to provide stability and an attachable framework to mount wireless technology equipment;
