Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for deploying wireless connectivity across a geographical area are disclosed. A bollard for deploying the wireless connectivity includes a modem and a router to receive an Internet connection from an ISP uplink. A PoE switch receives the Internet connection from the router. A first set of wireless backhaul bridges receive the Internet connection from the PoE switch and provide the Internet connection to a second set of wireless backhaul bridges embedded within a set of bollards external to the bollard. A wireless AP receives the Internet connection from the PoE switch. The AP includes a first Wi-Fi router to provide the wireless connectivity, using the Internet connection, to a first set of client devices, and a second Wi-Fi router to provide the wireless connectivity, using the Internet connection, to a second set of client devices.

Abstract: Disclosed is a way to expand the range of Internet of Things devices in a home, office, or structure to the range of a local WiFi network. This is accomplished by generating a network bridge for the devices using machine-to-machine protocols to communicate using the WiFi network backhaul channel. Transmissions in machine-to-machine protocol are tunneled through WiFi communications and extracted by the closest access point. Access points include radios for both WiFi and machine-to-machine protocols.

Abstract: Introduced here are technologies for securely booting a network access device or a satellite device. A network-accessible server system may receive a boot request that includes a boot certificate to identify the network access device. The network-accessible server system may determine that the boot certificate corresponds with a verified boot certificate listed on a boot certificate registry. The network-accessible server system may determine that a geographical location of the network access device and a user electronic application executing on an electronic device are within a predetermined range. The network-accessible server system may distribute a digital certificate to the network access device based on determining that the boot certificate corresponds with any verified boot certificate listed on the boot certificate registry and determining that the geographical location of the network access device and the user electronic application executing on the electronic device are within the predetermined range.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to wireless communication in an environment with electromagnetic interference. In some embodiments, during an initial interconnection setup between a transmitting wireless local area network (WLAN) and a receiving WLAN device, and a first frame or packet is wirelessly transmitted or received by the wireless device. An electromagnetic signal from nearby devices that interferes with wireless transmission is detected. Based on the detection of the wireless transmission interference, the wireless communication parameter is changed to increase communication throughput, and a second frame or packet is wirelessly transmitted or received.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dedicated control channel for a WLAN network. A number of access points are networked together and communicate data necessary to propagate the WLAN over a backhaul channel, however a dedicated radio on each access point is used to communicate control information between the access points. The control information is communicated over a control channel that is different from the client facing channels or bands, and the backhaul channel. In some embodiments, the control channel is sub 1 GHz.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein that improve the signal reception and transmission capabilities of an access point by coupling an active antenna assembly to the access point. An active antenna assembly includes an antenna and at least one active component, such as a low-noise amplifier or a power amplifier. The active component can be connected to an antenna circuit board rather than the main circuit board of the access point, which is typically retained within an access point housing. By positioning the active component near the antenna, the active antenna assembly prevents degradation of signals received by the antenna. One or more coaxial cables can be used to connect the active component of the active antenna assembly to the main circuit board of the access point.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a transmissive passive repeater having two or more antenna arrays, each array comprised of a plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna array has an associated region. An aperture is defined by the antenna arrays with which energy at respective antenna arrays passes between each of the regions. Another embodiment of the invention provides a reflective passive repeater having an aperture. Energy received at the aperture is reflected back from the aperture. The aperture is configured to provide a conformal mapping between two regions as determined by complex coupling by individual antenna elements.
