Abstract:
A communications device may include an enclosure, mounting structure for mounting the enclosure in a predetermined orientation, an antenna bracket mounted to the enclosure, the antenna bracket having an antenna mounting portion, and an antenna mounted to the antenna mounting portion of the antenna bracket. The antenna bracket is configured so that when the enclosure is mounted in the predetermined orientation a ground plane of the antenna extends along a non-horizontal plane.

Claim (Index 1):
A communications device for mounting to an environmental element comprising:\n an enclosure having walls defining an interior area and an opening, the walls including at least one first wall and at least one second wall; a cover attachable to the opening so as to close the opening; mounting structure for mounting the enclosure to the environmental element in a predetermined orientation so that the first wall is oriented in a vertically and the second wall is oriented horizontally; an antenna bracket having a bracket mounting portion with a flange, a first bend adjacent the bracket mounting portion, a central portion having a first leg, a second leg, and a second bend between the first leg and the second leg, the antenna bracket also having an antenna mounting portion and a third bend between the antenna mounting portion and the second leg, the first leg adjacent the first bend extending substantially perpendicular to the bracket mounting portion, the second leg extending substantially perpendicular to the first leg and substantially parallel to the bracket mounting portion, the antenna bracket being mounted via the bracket mounting portion to at least one of the first wall and the second wall in the interior area, the antenna bracket being a unitary metallic element; and an antenna mounted to the antenna mounting portion of the antenna bracket, the third bend being configured so that the antenna mounting portion and the second leg are substantially non-perpendicular and so that when the enclosure is mounted in the predetermined orientation a ground plane of the antenna extends along a non-horizontal plane, the third bend including a surface irregularity in the form of at least one opening extending through the antenna bracket along the third bend to weaken the antenna bracket along the third bend for preferential bending along the third bend rather than along the first bend or the second bend for selective adjustment of an orientation of the antenna mounting portion and the ground plane.
