  • Directional Router Communication and Tracking
    Publication number: 20210368415
    Abstract: Networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may comprise a movable antenna within a spherical housing having different ports associated with different positions, and may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones by moving the antenna. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices.
    Type: Application

  • Directional Router Communication and Tracking
    Publication number: 20170013534
    Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments, networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices. A networking device may also direct communication between multiple routers to facilitate a distributed network, allowing for a single device to provide dedicated wireless bridging while separately managing a local wireless network.
