Adjustable access point antenna orientation for optimal communication
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11929545B2) discloses a network device with a unique design that includes a main housing, a radio, a front housing, at least one antenna element, and a hinge connecting the front housing to the main housing. The antenna element mounted on the front housing is movable from a vertical orientation when the front housing is closed to a horizontal orientation when open, allowing for flexibility in signal reception.
Additionally, the network device includes sensors for determining height from ground level, position of the front housing, and angle or tilt of the front housing. The main housing features cooling fins for temperature regulation and a bracket for controlling the position of the front housing. Furthermore, the device incorporates a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna array and a Wi-Fi antenna, both operably connected to their respective radios. This innovative design aims to enhance signal reception and adaptability in various environments, making it a promising solution for network connectivity needs.
