Wireless access point in pedestal or hand hole
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- providing an antenna within a signal distribution device, the signal distribution device comprising a container disposed in a ground surface, a top portion of the container being substantially level with a top portion of the ground surface;
communicatively coupling the antenna to one or more of at least one conduit, at least one optical fiber, at least one conductive signal line, or at least one power line via the container;
providing a pedestal disposed above the top portion of the container; and
providing the antenna in the pedestal.

Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing antenna structures to optimize transmission and reception of wireless signals from ground-based signal distribution devices, which include, but are not limited to, pedestals, hand holes, and/or network access point platforms. Wireless applications with such devices and systems might include, without limitation, wireless signal transmission and reception in accordance with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad/af standards, UMTS, CDMA, LTE, PCS, AWS, EAS, BRS, and/or the like. In some embodiments, an antenna might be provided within a signal distribution device, which might include a container disposed in a ground surface. A top portion of the container might be substantially level with a top portion of the ground surface. The antenna might be communicatively coupled to one or more of at least one conduit, at least one optical fiber, at least one conductive signal line, or at least one power line via the container.
