Telecom Shelter & Cell Site Cooling
Closed-loop wall-mount and cabinet air conditioners for telecom shelters, walk-in cabinets and outdoor radio enclosures across the Front Range.
Keep radios, rectifiers and batteries in range
Telecom equipment produces heat around the clock, and an unmanned site has no one on hand when a cooling unit fails. A shelter that runs hot shortens battery life and puts rectifiers and radios at risk of shutting down.
Dantherm designs PrecisionAir specifically for telecom buildings and cabinets. BBCOND installs these units on new shelters, replaces aging wall-mount units on existing sites and adds cooling to outdoor cabinets that have outgrown their fans or heat exchangers. Units are available in 48 VDC, so cooling can run from the same DC plant as the radios.

Telecom sites we cool
- Cell sites and towers: outdoor radio and power cabinets at the base of the tower
- Walk-in cabinets (WICs) and huts: small prefab shelters for carrier and fiber equipment
- Fiber huts and regenerator sites: unmanned network nodes along fiber routes
- DAS and small cell head-ends: equipment rooms serving in-building and campus wireless
- Public safety radio sites: two-way radio and dispatch repeater shelters
- Broadcast transmitter buildings: transmitter and STL equipment enclosures
Why Dantherm PrecisionAir

Options include an Ethernet controller, stainless steel housing and beige, white or custom finishes. BBCOND sizes each unit from your equipment heat load and site conditions.
Serving sites within an hour of Denver
Front Range sites see summer highs in the 90s and winter nights well below zero, often in the same year at the same site. PrecisionAir units are rated to operate from -40°F to 131°F and include an internal heater, so one unit handles both extremes. We install from Denver and Aurora out to mountain sites around Evergreen and the foothills, and north to Boulder and Longmont.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can a PrecisionAir unit run on -48 VDC power?
Several sizes are built for 48 VDC (+20%/-15%), including 4,000, 6,000, 10,000, 12,000, 14,000, 24,000 and 28,000 BTU/h models.
-
Can I set up lead/lag redundancy?
Shelters are often fitted with two units for redundancy. We size and configure the units so one can carry the load if the other is down.
-
Can I monitor the unit from our NOC?
Yes. The optional ACG7 controller provides Ethernet with SNMP v2 or Modbus and a web interface for remote alarms and set points.
