First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless node, comprising:
- a base unit, including;
a first antenna connection point detachably coupleable to an 802.11a antenna element, and 802.11 circuitry including 802.11a circuitry, wherein detachably coupling at least the 802.11a antenna element to the first antenna connection point permits the wireless node to have at least 802.11a communications.
