1. A device comprising:
- a support structure having a cylindrical shape and a hollow bottom portion;
a first radio device physically secured to the support structure;
a strut channel that physically connects with a utility structure that is a separate structure from the device, wherein the utility structure provides the device with support from ground;
an installation member having a strut and a mounting support, wherein the strut slidably engages with the strut channel during an installation process, and wherein the mounting support is insertable into the hollow bottom portion of the support structure during the installation process; and
a mounting bracket that physically connects the support structure to at least one of the strut channel or the utility structure during the installation process.
