ABSTRACT:
An indoor/outdoor antenna mounting enclosure that may be mounted either vertically or horizontally comprises a front shell and a rear shell fastened together to enclose an interior space for a printed circuit board, the shells each have a plurality of cooling fins oriented obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the enclosure. Each of the front and rear shells includes mounting bosses for two receive antennas and a transmit antenna, the transmit antenna mounting location separated by a predetermined longitudinal distance from the first and second receive antenna mounting locations. The mounting bosses allow the antennas to be oriented either with the longitudinal or transverse axis of the enclosure. Keying holes in the shells ensure that the receive and transmit antennas are mountable only in the designated mounting location in the correct orientation. In addition, the receive antenna mounting locations on the front shell are back to back with the receive antenna mounting locations on the rear shell to prevent interference between receive and transmit antennas.
