Description
- This application claims priority from provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 60/505,822, entitled, “Bracket to Hold Mobile Testing Unit in Vehicle,” which was filed Sep. 24, 2003, and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Signal network operators frequently use signal testing units to measure and improve signal coverage, such as cellular coverage, in a geographical area. The signal testing units are positioned in the coverage area and collect geographical position data and various radio communication related parameters, such as signal strength. This information is analyzed to troubleshoot and improve the coverage of cellular networks. Currently, signal network operators drive the signal testing units around a geographical area to collect data. Typically, the signal testing unit is placed in a vehicle in an unsecured manner or is semi-permanently mounted to the vehicle. When the signal testing unit is unsecured, it can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another, but the signal testing unit can be easily damaged, stolen, or interfere with operation of the vehicle. If the signal testing unit is semi-permanently mounted to the vehicle, then the unit cannot be easily transferred, and time and special tools may be required to remove and install the unit.
- Multiple vehicles may be used to collect data in various locations. One option is to install the signal testing unit in each vehicle, but such an approach can be costly.
- Further, when a signal testing unit is transferred to another vehicle, antenna and power connections may be required. The signal testing unit may require connection to a GPS antenna that is external to the testing unit for determining the unit's location as well as cellular antenna(s) for collecting and reporting the data. Additionally, connection to the vehicle's power system may be required. Completing these connections may further complicate transferring a signal testing unit from one vehicle to another if the installation is not compatible with the design of the signal testing unit.
- Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus that provides easy removal of a signal testing unit from one vehicle and installation in another, so as to facilitate the use of signal testing units in different vehicles at different times, for monitoring a signal network, such as a cellular network.
- The embodiments of mounting devices disclosed below provide for a bracket on which to mount a signal testing unit, and optionally provide for a connector to a power source, GPS antenna, and cellular antennas such that moving a signal testing unit from one vehicle to another can be accomplished more easily. The bracket may provide secure (e.g., preventing unauthorized removal) or non-secure mounting of the signal testing unit. The bracket can be installed in or on a fleet of vehicles to facilitate the movement of the signal testing unit from one vehicle to another by providing the operator with a common bracket and optional electrical connection in one centralized area for secure installation and operation of the unit.
- One embodiment of a vehicle mounting assembly includes a bracket that has a front face and a back face. The back face is fastened adjacent a suitable vehicle surface with fasteners, and the front face defines a plurality of keyholes for mounting a signal testing unit. The testing unit includes a plurality of screw-shaped protrusions that are positioned to engage the keyholes of the bracket. To mount the testing unit to the bracket, the head of each protrusion engages the wider, upper portion of a keyhole and the testing unit is moved downwardly until the body of each protrusion is intermediate the narrower, lower portion of a keyhole. The head of the protrusion is positioned behind the lower portion of the keyhole, and because the head is wider than the narrower, lower portion of the keyhole, the removal of the protrusion from the keyhole is prevented.
