The true meaning of distributed.
The latest generations of cellular networks, 3G+ and 4G, require relay antennas to be installed in a distributed pattern, about every 1500 ft. These antennas are driven by a series of boxes containing electronics, batteries, and a power supply. The typical installation of these antennas is made on an existing wood pole, sometimes extended to allow installation of antenna at about 35 ft above grade level. All this creates strange looking installations that most people find unsightly. MCM has developed a special base, called the D.A.S. Base (for Distributed Antenna System), that can house the components driving the antenna inside the lower part of a lamp post and support the required antenna at proper height.
