Electronic equipment mounting post

A post for mounting electronic equipment, the post comprising:

• a base configured to hold computing equipment;
• a mount configured to hold the electronic equipment;
• a tube mast comprising a first portion configured to connect with the base and a second portion configured to connect with the mount, wherein the tube mast is configured to receive wiring that passes through the tube mast from the computing equipment to the electronic equipment, and the first portion of the tube mast comprises one or more hinges configured to connect with the base and positioned to allow the tube mast to fold relative to the base;
• and
• a cabinet configured to enclose the base and the computing equipment to protect the computing equipment from exposure to weather;
• wherein the base comprises two or more flanges, and at least one of the two or more flanges is configured to hold the computing equipment mounted thereon;
• wherein the base comprises a central base tube, and the two or more flanges comprise three or more flanges arranged around the central base tube and tapered in a direction of the tube mast;
• and
• wherein the cabinet comprises:
• two or more sections configured to wrap around the base and the tube mast;
• and
• a lock configured to securely attach the two or more sections of the cabinet to each other.

• a cabinet configured to enclose the base and the computing equipment to protect the computing equipment from exposure to weather;
• wherein the base includes at least one through hole and the second portion of the tube mast includes at least one ventilation hole, such that the at least one through hole and the at least one ventilation hole together produce an upwards airflow from the base through the tube mast, thereby providing passive cooling of the computing equipment;
• wherein the first portion of the tube mast comprises one or more hinges configured to connect with the base and positioned to allow the tube mast to fold relative to the base;
• and
• wherein the base comprises a central base tube and three or more flanges arranged around the central base tube and tapered in a direction of the tube mast, at least one flange of the three or more flanges is configured to hold the computing equipment mounted thereon, the at least one through hole is in the central base tube, and the wiring passes through the at least one through hole.
