Patent number: 11245173Abstract: An assembly for mounting a wireless access point includes a base panel configured to be mounted to a post and to support the access point. The assembly includes a shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the access point, and the post. The assembly can also include an antenna support configured to support an antenna coupled to the access point and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. A method of mounting the access point to the post includes mounting, to the post, the base panel supporting the access point. The method also includes, after mounting the base panel to the post, coupling the shroud to the base panel such that the shroud at least partially surrounds the base panel, the access point, and the post.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventors: Michael Alexander, Robert Anderson, Alvin Clark
