  • Method and apparatus for point-N-go antenna aiming and tracking system
    Patent number: 10418683
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided comprising a clamping portion and a coupling portion, the clamping portion structured to be clamped to a support structure; a mating bracket configured to couple at least one of a radio or an antenna to the coupling portion; a first guide arm disposed intermediate the clamping portion and the coupling portion, the first guide arm structured to enable movement of at least one of the radio or the antenna; and at least one actuator comprising an extendable portion, wherein while extending, the extendable portion causes movement, via the first guide arm, of the coupling portion relative to the clamping portion, thereby rotating at least one of the radio or the antenna along a first axis.
