  • Patent number: 12368237
    Abstract: A remotely controllable antenna mount for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna provides both mechanical azimuth and mechanical tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units and AISG control and monitoring systems to remotely adjust the physical orientation of the antenna. The mount control units are serially interconnected with existing AISG antenna control units (ACU's) which adjust internal electronic tilt of the antenna.
