Antenna tower and support apparatus
First Claim
1. An antenna tower and support apparatus, comprising:
- a) a foundation;
b) a multistory building mounted on the foundation, including a plurality of vertically spaced apart building sections that include at least a bottom section positioned next to the foundation and a top section, each building section defining a separate floor of the multistory building;
c) an open tower supported upon the multistory building and above the top section, the tower comprising only exposed structural connecting members and not being covered, enabling wind load to be minimized;
d) a plurality of antennas attached to the tower at multiple elevational positions;
e) each building section having a security area that is separate from the security area of other building sections;
f) a plurality of antenna portals, at least one provided on each building section;
g) a plurality of antenna cables, each cable extending from an antenna to a security area of a building section via an antenna portal, wherein each security area has at least one antenna cable that extends to it; and
h) each security area having telecommunication equipment that is connected to one of said antenna cables.

Abstract
An antenna tower and support apparatus includes a foundation and a building mounted on the foundation, the building including a plurality of vertically spaced apart building sections (preferably two, three or more), a bottom and a top. A tower is supported upon the top of the building. A plurality of antenna are attached at multiple elevational positions. Each building section has a security area that is separate from the security area of the other building sections. A plurality of antenna portals are provided at least one on each building section. A plurality of antenna cables are provided, each cable extending from an antenna to a security area of a building section via an antenna portal, wherein each security area has at least one antenna cable that extends to it. Each security area has telecommunications equipment that is connected to one of the antenna cables.
