1. A wireless antenna housing, comprising:
an elongated support spire, the support spire having a length between an upper end and a lower end and a hollow interior, wherein a long axis of the support spire defines a vertical reference axis;
at least three partition panels attached at spaced locations along the length of the support spire, wherein each partition panel comprises:
a surface that is transverse to the vertical reference axis; and
an aperture extending through the surface, wherein the support spire extends though the aperture; and
a connector attaching the partition panel to the support spire, wherein the at least three partition panels form a lower partition panel, an intermediate partition panel and an upper partition panel;
a shroud, wherein the shroud extends between the lower partition panel and the upper partition panel and around at least a portion of peripheries of the three partition panels, wherein the three partition panels and the shroud define a first antenna bay and a second antenna bay, wherein the first and second antenna bays are at least partially enclosed, and
wherein a sidewall of the support spire includes;
a first opening between the lower partition panel and the intermediate partition panel, wherein the first opening provides a passageway between the hollow interior of the spire and the first antenna bay, and
a second opening between the intermediate partition panel and the upper partition panel, wherein the second opening provides a passageway between the hollow interior of the spire and the second antenna bay.
