Telecommunication equipment structure

A telecommunication equipment structure, comprising:

• an outer wall for deployment at least partially below the surface of the ground;
• an inner casing provided within the outer wall and forming an interstitial space between the inner casing and the outer wall, the inner casing providing a protective barrier for an equipment cavity formed within the inner casing;
• a lid to cover at least the equipment cavity for telecommunication equipment;
• and
• a riser column having a stationary base structure and a movable riser structure, the movable riser structure moving relative to the stationary base structure between a first lowered position and a second raised position;
• and
• a backplane to mount the telecommunication equipment in the equipment cavity;
• wherein the riser column is configured to move between a first lowered position in the equipment cavity formed within the inner casing, and a second raised position for access to the telecommunication equipment mounted to the backplane.

An electronics equipment structure, comprising:

• an outer wall for deployment at least partially below the surface of the ground;
• an inner casing provided within the outer wall and forming an interstitial space between the inner casing and the outer wall, the inner casing providing a protective barrier for an equipment cavity formed within the inner casing;
• an intake chamber providing for passage of cooler air into the equipment cavity formed within the inner casing;
• an exhaust chamber providing for passage of warmer air out of the equipment cavity formed within the inner casing;
• and
• a riser column having a stationary base structure and a movable riser structure, the movable riser structure moving relative to the stationary base structure between a first lowered position and a second raised position;
• and
• a backplane to mount electronics equipment in the equipment cavity;
• wherein the riser column is configured to move between a first lowered position in the equipment cavity formed within the inner casing, and a second raised position for access to the electronics equipment mounted to the backplane.
