The ground equipment will also be contained within the fenced area, including (2) Ground Mounted Radio Cabinets, (1) Equipment Canopy, (1) Fiber Box, (1) 200A ILC Cabinet, (1) Manual Service Light Switch Timer, (3) Service Lights, (1) Back-Up Diesel Generator, (2) Raised Concrete Pads, Cable Ice Bridge, Utility Backboard And Multi-Meter Utility Service mounted on concrete pad.
