Abstract:
A portable housing that protects a wireless communications network access point, operable under indoor weather conditions, from weather conditions when operating outdoors, comprising:a case that has an interior substantially water-proofed envelope that is formed when the case is closed and that is adapted to fixedly hold the access point in the interior envelope; a conduit that is substantially water-proofed and that through which electricity is to be passed between the interior envelope of the case and case exterior; a sensor that senses temperature in the interior envelope of the case; and a heat exchanger that responds to the sensor to regulate temperature in the interior envelope of the case with a thermal conduction connection through the case that extends in a path that reaches from the interior envelope of the case to case exterior to maintain interior temperature to be approximately within a range of temperatures that is suitable for operating the access point.
