Operation of radio devices for long-range high-speed wireless communication
First Claim
1. A radio device for the exchange of wireless signals with a second radio device, the radio device:
- a first parabolic reflector;
a second parabolic reflector;
a radio circuitry configured for transmission of radio-frequency signals from the first parabolic reflector and configured for reception of radio-frequency signals from the second parabolic reflector;
a first status indicator visible on the outside of the radio device that is configured to indicate the signal strength of wireless signals received by the radio device from the second radio device; and
a second status indicator visible on the outside of the radio device that is configured to indicate the signal strength of wireless signals from the radio device that are received by the second radio device.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission/communication of high bandwidth signals. High bandwidth signals may be efficiently transmitted by a radio device having a pair of reflectors separated by an isolation choke boundary. The two reflectors may be connected or formed of a single housing, and may be mounted to a wall, pole, etc. using a quick-connect. The devices may be configured to operate in any appropriate band (e.g., a 5GHz band, a 24 GHz band, etc.) and may be configured for accurate and easy alignment with one or more remote radio devices. Alignment may be assisted by displaying both local and remote transmission information during alignment.
