    Abstract: A mounting structure for protecting a transceiver located on an underside of a manhole cover is formed from a metal or rugged plastic in the shape of a truncated dome or cone with a sloping sidewall and a cavity configured to receive a transceiver, wherein the mounting structure is mountable to an underside of the manhole cover. A data communication system for an enclosure comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with a network outside of the enclosure and a mounting structure to mount the transceiver to an underside of the manhole cover. The mounting structure is configured to protect the transceiver from damage during removal of the manhole cover from the entrance port of the enclosure.

    Abstract: A fault circuit indicator (FCI) detection system for electrical equipment disposed in an enclosure or vault having an above-ground vent pipe exhaust outlet comprises one or more sensors disposed in the enclosure or vault to sense a condition of at least one unit of the electrical equipment. A sensored analytics unit (SAU) is coupled to the sensors to receive sensor data and analyze the sensor data, the SAU generating a corresponding analyzed data signal that provides information related to a condition of the at least one unit of electrical equipment. A transceiver is disposed inside at least a portion of the vent pipe to receive the analyzed data signal, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate the analyzed data signal. A visual indicator is disposed on or within the vent pipe comprising one or more visual indicators, such as LEDs, driven by a driving circuit board to provide a visual signal corresponding to the condition of the at least one unit of electrical equipment.

    Abstract: A data communication system for an enclosure comprises a transceiver mountable to a mounting location formed in an entrance port cover for the enclosure, the transceiver connectable to a sensor analytics unit disposed within the enclosure. The transceiver includes a housing having a cover portion with inwardly tapered sidewalls receivable in the mounting location, wherein the mounting location includes a hole having correspondingly tapered sidewalls. A top surface of the transceiver is configured to be positioned substantially flush to an upper surface of the entrance port cover when the transceiver is placed in an installed position. The transceiver is configured to communicate with a network outside of the enclosure.

    Abstract: A data communication system comprises a transceiver including an antenna and global positioning system (GPS) circuitry, disposed in a support structure adjacent to and supporting an entrance port to an underground enclosure. The transceiver includes a housing, where the housing is flush mountable in the support structure, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate with a network outside of the underground enclosure. The data communication system also includes a sensor disposed in the enclosure that provides data related to a real-time condition within the underground enclosure. The data communication system also includes a sensor analytics unit to process the data from the sensor and generate a processed data signal and to communicate the processed data signal to the transceiver.
