  • Patent number: 6786647
    Abstract: An optical connector is secured to a body member which can be rotated away from the outer surface faceplate of the circuit pack for inspection, cleaning or repair. The body member is otherwise constrained to move along the outer surface of the circuit pack in a fixed path such that the connector of one module can mate through an adapter with a corresponding connector on another module.

  • Patent number: 6336035
    Abstract: Software tools for simulating the planning and operation of one or more cellsites within a wireless network utilize a database of cellsite information such as GPS, topographical, street map, architectural, RF propagation, and end user data. The tools retrieve and manipulate this data through a graphical user interface executed by a computing device. Using the graphical user interface, a user may simulate product information, drive tests, radio frequency propagation data, and user location profiles within a cell.

  • Patent number: 5548643
    Abstract: An outdoor wireless base station having a housing and a circuit pack extending upwards in the housing with electronic components extending into a forward air flow passage. The forward air flow passage is interconnected for air circulation with a rearward air flow passage and a heat conductive rear wall of the housing partly defines the rearward flow passage. Air in the forward air flow passage flows upwards and into the rearward air flow passage for heat removal through the rear wall. The cooling air flows downwards in the rearward air flow passage to return to the bottom of the forward air flow passage.
