Devices, assemblies, and methods for mounting a wireless access point to a post
First Claim
1. An assembly for mounting a wireless access point and an antenna to a post having a longitudinal axis, the assembly comprising:
- a base panel configured to be mounted to the post and to support the wireless access point;
a wireless access point mounting bracket coupled to the base panel and configured to secure the wireless access point to the base panel; and
a single-sheet shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the wireless access point supported by the base panel, and the post, the shroud defining an interior volume and having an open cross-sectional shape in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the post, wherein the base panel and the wireless access point are positioned within the interior volume,wherein a first end of the shroud is coupled to the wireless access point mounting bracket and a second end of the shroud is coupled to the wireless access point mounting bracket.

Abstract
An assembly for mounting a wireless access point includes a base panel configured to be mounted to a post and to support the access point. The assembly includes a shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the access point, and the post. The assembly can also include an antenna support configured to support an antenna coupled to the access point and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. A method of mounting the access point to the post includes mounting, to the post, the base panel supporting the access point. The method also includes, after mounting the base panel to the post, coupling the shroud to the base panel such that the shroud at least partially surrounds the base panel, the access point, and the post.
