Patent EP-1529421-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FLYNN MICHAEL
IPC: H04B1/03
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A track system and methods of use that facilitate the optimization of the leased area space for antenna and transceiver installation sites. The track system advantageously minimizes lease area space requirements while maximizing transmission capacity of transceiver installations by enabling the installation of more transceiver units or cabinets in the same amount of space previously required for fewer traditional transceiver cabinets. As a result, installation footprints can be custom designed to meet difficult space constraints and additional transceiver cabinets may be installed on existing installation footprints without increasing the leased area's space requirement and renegotiating the lease.
