Faceplate-Based Wireless Functionality Device

An apparatus, comprising:

• a faceplate configured to be attached to a wall;
• one or more antennas attached to an inner surface of the faceplate and configured to perform at least one of transmitting or receiving one or more signals to perform one or more functions;
• a power adapter electrically coupled to the one or more antennas and configured to provide power to the one or more antennas;
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the one or more antennas;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to:
• connect the one or more antennas to a network;
• and
• cause the one or more antennas to perform the one or more functions.

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of wireless functionality devices, each wireless functionality device comprising:
• a faceplate configured to be attached to a wall;
• one or more antennas attached to an inner surface of the faceplate and configured to perform at least one of transmitting or receiving one or more signals to perform one or more functions;
• a power adapter electrically coupled to the one or more antennas and configured to provide power to the one or more antennas;
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the one or more antennas;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes said wireless functionality device to:
• connect the one or more antennas to a network;
• and
• cause the one or more antennas to perform the one or more functions.
