Abstract: A system for a vehicle comprises a dock and a housing configured to detachably connect to the dock. The dock comprises a base configured for attachment to a roof of the vehicle. The base comprises a recess and a conduit for accessing an interior of the vehicle. A first connector interface of the dock comprises a plurality of first electrical connectors configured to couple to respective electrical conductors arranged to pass through the conduit and into an interior of the vehicle. The housing is configured to detachably connect to the dock and dimensioned to be received by the recess of the base. The housing comprises a first electronics module coupled to one or more first antennas, and a second connector interface comprising a plurality of second electrical connectors configured to detachably connect to the first electrical connectors.

Abstract: A combined antenna placement topology is disclosed herein. The combined antenna placement topology is utilized to get optimized antenna isolation, efficiency, system coverage and throughputs. The combined topology includes antenna location diversity, polarization diversity and antenna type diversity.
