Claim Text:
1. A system for raising and lowering a cellular-telecommunications signaling component on a cellular-telecommunications tower, the system comprising: a hollow base structure of the tower that includes a wall circumscribing an internal space and that is usable to support the signaling component at an external position on the hollow base structure; a first knockout opening and a second knockout opening that are constructed in the circumscribing wall and that are sized to allow passage of the signaling component from the external position into the internal space; a first track that extends inside the internal space from a bottom of the hollow base structure to the first knockout opening and a second track that merges off from the first track and extends inside the internal space to the second knockout opening, wherein the first and second tracks are is attachable to a mount of the signaling component to allow the signaling component to be transported along the first and the second tracks between the external position and the bottom of the hollow base structure; and a switch positioned at an interface between the first track and the second track, wherein the switch includes a first switch position that provides a path along the track from the bottom of the base structure to the first knockout opening and a second switch position that provides a path along the track and the second track from the bottom of the base structure to the second knockout opening.
