An adjustable wireless accessible point includes a base, a plurality of antenna modules and an antenna driving module. The plurality of antenna modules are movably disposed on the base and for emitting or receiving wireless signals. The antenna driving module is movably connected to the plurality of antenna modules and for driving the plurality of antenna modules to synchronously move relative to the base, so as to achieve a purpose of adjusting a radiation pattern of the adjustable wireless accessible point.

The radiation-direction changing and maintaining portion includes: a linear-movement generator, which is provided on a surface of a wave energy radiating portion opposite to a surface of the wave energy radiating portion from which the wave energy is radiated, and is configured to generate power required to change the direction of radiation of the wave energy radiating portion linearly along the wave energy radiating portion; a direction changer, which is provided so as to face the linear-movement generator, and is configured to change a direction of the power generated by the linear-movement generator toward the wave energy radiating portion to turn the wave energy radiating portion; and a force applying member configured to apply a force to the wave energy radiating portion in a direction against the turning of the wave energy radiating portion, which is caused by the power.

A phased array antenna which can change the configuration of the phased array antenna by controllable quad switches on the phased array antenna is presented. The phased array antenna adapts monolithic microwave integrate circuit (MMIC) technology to have high isolation interconnection of the reconfigurable phased array antenna. The reconfigurable phased array antenna can be reusable and adaptable to different configurations so that the overall cost and lead time of the phased array antenna is reduced compared to the existing RF antennas in the market.

A control system and method is provided for raising and lowering a vehicle antenna. The control system includes a location receiver for generating vehicle location data, an obstacle detection unit which generates an obstacle signal, an antenna, an antenna motor for raising and lowering the antenna and a control unit. The control unit controls the antenna motor as a function of the vehicle location data and the obstacle signal. The control unit compares the vehicle location signal to stored or received geofencing information defining a geofenced area, and causes the antenna motor to raise the antenna when the vehicle location corresponding to the vehicle location data is inside the geofenced area and no obstacle is detected. The control unit causes the antenna motor to lower the antenna when the vehicle location corresponding to the vehicle location data is outside the geofenced area or if an obstacle is detected.

An assembly for mounting a wireless access point includes a base panel configured to be mounted to a post and to support the access point. The assembly includes a shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the access point, and the post. The assembly can also include an antenna support configured to support an antenna coupled to the access point and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. A method of mounting the access point to the post includes mounting, to the post, the base panel supporting the access point. The method also includes, after mounting the base panel to the post, coupling the shroud to the base panel such that the shroud at least partially surrounds the base panel, the access point, and the post.

An antenna device according to one of various examples of the present invention can comprise: an antenna module; a radio remote head (RRH) for receiving signals from the antenna module and a base station; guide modules for guiding the RRH such that the RRH slidably moves in an inclined state in the antenna module, for providing one end portion of the RRH to be rotated, and for providing the other end portion of the RRH to move vertically in the sliding movement direction; connection modules provided on a surface on which the antenna module and the RRH face each other, and electrically connecting the RRH and the antenna module; and coupling modules provided on one side of the RRH so as to move the connection modules, thereby mutually coupling or separating the connection modules.

A support device for a radio equipment of an aircraft, radio system and aircraft are provided. The support device includes a fastening structure (31), intended to be secured to a lower surface of a fuselage of an aircraft, and a support platform (33) of the radio equipment (25). The support platform (33) is mounted pivoting on the fastening structure (31) around a pivot axis (A) between an operational position and a backup position. The support device comprises a locking mechanism (56), able to be actuated from a locked configuration, in which said locking mechanism (56) keeps the support platform (33) in its operational position while preventing any pivoting of the support platform (33), to an unlocked configuration, in which the locking mechanism (56) allows the support platform (33) to pivot relative to the fastening structure (31).
