The enclosure may include a rectangular rear panel, and, extending in a longitudinal direction of the enclosure, first walls extending from at least the longitudinal edges of the rear panel, second walls extending from the first walls and being angled inwardly, third walls extending from the second walls, and flange extending from the third wall portion outwardly from the cavity of the enclosure, the flange being substantially parallel with the rear panel, the flange having a mounting locations and a sealing area located between the mounting locations and the third wall portion, such that a combination of the walls and flange appear generally "Z"-shaped in cross section. The inner seal may be dimensioned to overlap an area defined by the flange of the enclosure such that the inner seal forms an environmental seal when positioned on the sealing area of the flange. The inner seal may also have a plurality of RF radiating modules fastened thereto. The inner seal may also provide electromagnetic shielding. The plurality of micro radios are located inside the cavity of the enclosure, and each micro radio is coupled to an RF radiating module.
