Patent ID: 7065350

Claim:
Apparatus for communicating, in a building, a wireless data signal between a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver, comprising: a first passive signal repeater, operable to respond to the wireless data signal and to the first wireless transceiver; a second passive signal repeater, operable to respond to the wireless data signal and to the second wireless transceiver; and a mounting device configured to traverse a structure within the building, and to receive the first and second passive signal repeaters, the mounting device having a transfer path, the transfer path operable to transfer the wireless data signal received from the first wireless transceiver at the first passive signal repeater to the second passive signal repeater, and to transfer the wireless data signal received from the second wireless transceiver at the second passive signal repeater to the first passive signal repeater, wherein when the mounting device traverses the structure, and the first and second passive signal repeaters are arranged on the mounting device in such a manner that the transfer path is operating, a wireless signal path traversing the structure is created for the wireless data signal between the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver.
