Self-aligning wireless interface system and method

A method of installing a wireless interface system as part of a commercial business which couples equipment to a wireless service, the method comprising:

• delivering the wireless interface system to a site in or near which the equipment is located;
• letting the wireless interface system set itself up to enable the equipment to wirelessly communicate with the wireless service through the wireless interface system;
• and
• providing a cover over the interface system and allowing the cover to degrade through the action of environmental elements.

An interface system providing an interface between a wireless service and equipment communicating with the wireless service, the interface system comprising:

• least one antenna oriented to a communications node that provides access to the wireless service;
• self-alignment equipment which enables the interface system to perform start-up operations prior to communicating with the wireless service;
• a communications module coupled to the at least one antenna and to the self-alignment equipment, which communicates with the wireless service when the start-up operations have been performed by the self-alignment equipment;
• and
• a cover over the interface system, wherein the cover is degradable through the action of environmental elements.
