Abstract: The Locking Communication Cradle is a durable, waterproof, and dent-resistant container (typically of two-piece molded plastic construction) for a cell phone, GPS unit, speaker, battery, and/or other communication tool or piece of equipment which may be components of a larger communication system. The Locking Communication Cradle may be wall- or pedestal-mounted in a building, or installed in a truck, boat, or other vehicle, and is designed to hold the system components securely in position, while making them accessible only in part to the local users—according to a predetermined use. These specially designed containers, which may come in several designs to accommodate different configurations of system components, are intended to limit the local manipulation of the units so that the fleet manager, school principal, or other controller can rely on the integrity of the data being transmitted and received.
