Radiating Closures

摘要

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing telecommunications signal relays, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing telecommunications signal relays using radiating closures (either aerial, below grade, and/or buried, etc.), or the like. In various embodiments, a signal distribution system, which might be disposed within a radiating closure, might receive a first communications signal. A wireless transceiver of the signal distribution system might send the first communications signal, via one or more wireless communications channels, to one or more devices that are external to the radiating closure. In some embodiments, antennas—which might comprise first antennas disposed within the radiating closure or second antennas embedded in a housing material of the radiating closure, or both—might direct the first communications signal that is sent from the wireless transceiver to the one or more devices. In some cases, IoT sensors may be implemented in the radiating closure.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, with a signal distribution system disposed within a radiating closure, a first communications signal; sending, with a wireless transceiver of the signal distribution system, the first communications signal, via one or more wireless communications channels, to one or more devices that are external to the radiating closure; and directing, with at least one of one or more first antennas disposed within the radiating closure or one or more second antennas embedded in a housing material of the radiating closure, the first communications signal that is sent, via the one or more wireless communications channels, from the wireless transceiver to the one or more devices.
