Abstract: A device for wireless communication, for example a WiMAX gateway, may include a control circuit comprising a wireless transceiver, an enclosure enclosing the control circuit, and a pair of antennas for wirelessly communicating with an external device via the wireless transceiver. The antennas may be mechanically coupled to an outside of the enclosure and electrically coupled to the control circuit, and may be collapsible to a stowed configuration to reduce the size of the device when the device is not in operation, and extendable to an operational configuration in which the antennas are spaced apart and are substantially parallel with each other. An interlock may disable operation of the device when the antennas are in the stowed configuration. The device may include a second antenna and transceiver, for example to provide WiFi connectivity.
