Wireless connectivity deployment system using bollards
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240022915A1) describes a bollard designed to deploy wireless connectivity across a geographical area. The bollard includes a modem connected to an Internet service provider (ISP) uplink, a router, a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, wireless backhaul bridges, and a wireless access point (AP) to provide internet connectivity to client devices. The bollard also features a power module to draw electrical power from an external source, with the PoE switch drawing power from the module. The system allows for the updating of software or firmware through a computer device connected to the router.
Furthermore, the patent application details a system for deploying wireless connectivity across a geographical area, consisting of multiple wireless nodes with backhaul bridges and APs to provide internet access to client devices. The spacing between nodes is crucial, with a threshold spacing requirement to ensure optimal connectivity. The system can be implemented within various structures like bollards, posts, lampposts, or circuit boxes within the designated area. The PoE switch facilitates the connection to the ISP uplink through a modem and router, powering the AP and backhaul bridges for seamless wireless connectivity.
