Abstract
An access point housing structure includes a first enclosure, a second enclosure to house an array of antenna patches, and an omni-directional hinge component. The first enclosure includes a first coupling mechanism located near one of the corners of the first enclosure. The second enclosure includes a second coupling mechanism located near a corner corresponding to the location of the first coupling mechanism. The omni-directional hinge component connects to the first coupling mechanism and to the second coupling mechanism and allows rotation of the second enclosure about a first axis along an edge of the first enclosure adjacent to the first coupling mechanism and about a second axis along an edge of the second enclosure adjacent to the second coupling mechanism.
