Abstract
A relay device deployment system comprising: a deployer, a wireless relay device, a node radio, a deployment mechanism, and a processor. The deployer is configured to be mounted on a mobile platform and to deploy the relay device to a support surface. The relay device comprises dual rotatable antennas and operates as a node in an ad hoc telecommunications network. The node radio has dual antennas and is also configured to operate as a node in the network. The deployment mechanism is configured to deploy the relay device when the network strength drops below a threshold value as monitored by the processor.
