Abstract

The present invention relates to an arrangement and to a method for cooling a radio transceiver unit (100a, 100b) mounted at the upper part of a radio mast (140; 120b). A cooling unit (110) conveys a coolant (130) from the lower part of the radio mast (140; 120b) to the radio transceiver unit (100), where said coolant (130) cools the transceiver unit. The proposed solution enables the cooling unit (110) to cool simultaneously two or more radio transceiver units (10a; 100b) that are distanced from the cooling unit (110). The solution also enables a reduction in the weight load on the radio mast (140; 120b) and enables the cooling unit (110) to be reached more easily for repair and maintenance work.
