Wireless communication device
View Patent ↗A wireless communication device for communicating information from a bidirectional high speed data cable modem via an Ethernet connection using a first radio transceiver at a first location and communicating with a second radio transceiver at a customer's premises, wherein the housing connects to a supporting strand which supports a coaxial cable carrying a RF spectrum signal and AC power as described herein.
1. A wireless communication device for communicating information from a bidirectional high speed data cable modem via an Ethernet connection using a first radio transceiver at a first location and communicating with a second radio transceiver at a customer's premises comprising:
a. a housing containing a interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem operably connected to a first radio transceiver, a first radio processor card, and a switching power supply, wherein the housing further comprises a mounting bracket to connect the housing to a strand comprising a coaxial cable;
b. a splitter adapted to engage the coaxial cable and split the RF spectrum signal from AC power, wherein the switching power supply converts the AC power to DC power; and
c. at least one heating and cooling device adapted to heat and cool contents of the housing.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem communicates with a Wide Area network (“WAN”) connection.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem communicates with a wireless Local Area network (“LAN”) connection.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem/router is a data over cable system interface specification (DOCSIS) modem/router.
5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the DOCSIS modem/router has a functionality consisting of automatic registration, encryption, and automatic assignment of IP addresses.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is formed of a material comprising molded plastic, a metal, a composite material, weatherproof sealed coated laminate or combinations thereof.
7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the housing further comprises a second interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem disposed in parallel communication with the interchangeable bidirectional high speed data modem.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein housing further comprises a detector for detecting a first location of the client device.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable modem is a router.
