Patent number: 11082314Abstract: Systems and methods relate to locating connectivity network components in a step structure. Connectivity network components, such as network switches, network access points, etc., are disposed within structural steps in a spectator venue, such as a sports stadium or arena. Locating network components in stadium steps allows network cabling to be brought closer to network access points, thus bringing about efficiencies in cabling costs and connectivity characteristics. Such systems and methods allow for network access points to be located in greater densities in areas with high user access rates.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: AmpThink, LLCInventor: William C. Anderson

Patent number: 10854948Abstract: A handrail mountable wireless components installation apparatus and related method of installation are disclosed. The apparatus/method includes a shell having two parts, a wireless components housing and a lid; and a chassis for the fixedly but detachable mounting within the shell of the wireless electronic components necessary to provide a WiFi signal, as for example a router and an antenna, the chassis equipped with two sets of brackets. One set of brackets provides the anchoring means for the fastening of the lid onto the housing. The second set of brackets allows the enclosure to be mounted on the handrail. Optionally, the chassis is provided with a mounting plate for the mounting of a router and an opening capable of accommodating an antenna without impeding the flow of the antenna signal. Optionally, the weather resistant handrail mountable wireless components installation apparatus also comprises a gasket.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: AmpThink, LLCInventor: William C. Anderson, III

Patent number: 10418682Abstract: An enclosure mountable to a handrail is described wherein the enclosure includes a first shell portion and a second shell portion that can be coupled. When coupled, a cavity is formed between the shell portions and may receive electronic components such as antennas, wireless network access points, etc. A transverse bore is formed in each of two ends of the enclosure such that the bore fits around a portion of a handrail when the shell portions are coupled. In addition to the transfer bore, a third bore opening is formed in a lower edge of the enclosure such that a first end of a substantially vertical support may be received into the third bore opening and a second end of the substantially vertical support may be connected to a stable surface disposed beneath the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: AMPTHINK, LLCInventor: William C. Anderson
