1. A method of transmitting and receiving data, the method comprising:
- operating a first antenna proximate to a first vertex of an information handling system chassis, wherein;
the chassis has a generally triangular profile comprised partly of metal;
the information handling system comprises a CPU, a graphics processor, a power supply, RAM memory, and a network interface device;
a location of the first antenna proximate to the first vertex minimizes operating against a shadow effect of the chassis;
operating a second antenna proximate to a second vertex of the chassis to further minimize the shadow effect by the chassis; and
operating a third antenna proximate to a third vertex of the chassis.

Abstract
An information handling system includes a triangular chassis and a plurality of antennas that provide optimized coverage in all directions around the triangular chassis. An antenna may be operated from each vertex of the triangular shaped base chassis. Alternatively, an antenna may be operated from each of three main side surfaces of the triangular shaped base chassis. One or more of the antennas can be selected for communication based on the ability to communicate with external network components. Disclosed systems provide omnidirectional coverage around the triangular chassis while minimizing the effects of shadowing caused by abase chassis.
