Perforated door for monopole module and method of mounting same

A modular monopole for wireless communications, comprising:

• an antenna module having a floor, a ceiling and a side wall that form an antenna compartment, the antenna module having a first hollow post extending between the floor and the ceiling, wherein at least one antenna resides within the antenna compartment;
• a radio module having a floor, a ceiling and a side wall that form a radio compartment, the radio module having a second hollow post extending between the floor and the ceiling, wherein at least one remote radio unit (RRU) resides within the radio compartment;
• a distribution module having a floor, a ceiling, and a side wall that form a distribution compartment, the distribution module having a third hollow post extending between the floor and the ceiling, wherein at least one cable distribution unit resides within the distribution compartment, the cable distribution unit configured to break out power conductors and optical fibers from a hybrid trunk cable for distribution to the at least one RRU;
• a base;
• and
• a cooling module in the base;
• wherein the base, the radio module, the antenna module, and the distribution module are arranged in vertically stacked relationship, with the base residing below the radio module and the distribution module, and the antenna module residing above the radio module, and
• wherein the first hollow post, the second hollow post, and the third hollow post, each have an opening in fluid communication with the cooling module and the cooling module is configured to force cool air upwardly through the first, second and third hollow posts, and out of the openings into the respective modules.
