  • Patent number: 10347979
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile network concealment system or assembly which provides for aesthetic modification without impairing, diminishing, or otherwise affecting radio frequency (RF) transmission/reception. Said mobile network concealment system or assembly improves accessibility to encased mobile network devices well after installation in a manner such that (i) materials can be tailored, colored, molded, or otherwise formed or manipulated to be aesthetically pleasing, and (ii) a technician has the ability to remove, alter, or otherwise modify or access the devices in a way that allows the technician to service or troubleshoot the mobile network devices in situ (i.e., without removing the concealment system).

  • Patent number: 10199712
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are means and methods by which unrelated or outside entities may add value to strategic partnerships with mobile network service providers—beyond providing preexisting elevating structures. In the state of the art, mobile network service providers must rely upon multiple technicians using multiple tools to pinpoint where a tower or pole exists, and must perform precise horizontal and vertical aiming of each mobile network device when elevated and mounted at a particular position on said tower or pole. Said means and methods are directed to reducing the time and cost associated with this onsite commissioning of mobile network devices by factory wiring and factory aiming at least some of these devices in a commensurate fashion to factory wiring and factory aiming of disparate devices such as lighting fixtures.
