  • Track light powered adapter for wireless networking device
    Patent number: 8755305
    Abstract: A wireless networking device adapter for provisioning a wireless network using new or existing track lighting. The adapter securely engages the track light channel and supports a commercially available wireless access point (WAP) device. A lock mechanism on the adapter prevents unexpected disengagement of the adapter from the track light channel, yet allows for operator removal. A power converter within the adapter powers the WAP device from the electrical power provided by the track light channel. Multiple adapters communicate to form a mesh network to improve wireless network fault tolerance, or may operate in a repeater mode configuration or some combination.
