Abstract

An information handling system includes a triangular chassis and a plurality of antennas that provide optimized coverage in all directions around the triangular chassis. An antenna may be operated from each vertex of the triangular shaped base chassis. Alternatively, an antenna may be operated from each of three main side surfaces of the triangular shaped base chassis. One or more of the antennas can be selected for communication based on the ability to communicate with external network components. Disclosed systems provide omnidirectional coverage around the triangular chassis while minimizing the effects of shadowing caused by abase chassis.
