Antenna mounting bracket with adjustable azimuth settings

An antenna mounting bracket assembly with one or more predetermined azimuth settings for mounting an antenna to a support structure, the antenna mounting bracket comprising:

• a movable bracket assembly adapted to angularly rotate through the one or more predetermined azimuth settings, the movable bracket assembly comprising at least a set of receiving apertures;
• and
• a fixed bracket assembly fixedly coupled to the support structure and rotatably coupled to the movable bracket assembly via a pivot rod, the fixed bracket assembly comprising one or more locking pins movable from a first engaged position to a second disengaged position, the one or more locking pins being vertically adjacent to the set of receiving apertures of the movable bracket assembly, wherein when the one or more locking pins are in the first engaged position they are received by the set of receiving apertures such that the movable bracket assembly is held in a fixed position;
• and wherein when the one or more locking pins are in the second disengaged position the movable bracket assembly is able to angularly rotate through the one or more predetermined azimuth settings relative to the pivot rod.

A computerized method carried out by at least one server having at least one processor for automatically and without human intervention changing an azimuth setting of an antenna mounted to a support structure using an antenna mounting bracket assembly having adjustable azimuth settings, the antenna mounting bracket assembly comprising a fixed bracket assembly fixedly coupled to the support structure and rotatably coupled to a movable bracket assembly via a pivot rod, wherein the fixed bracket assembly comprises at least by a set of movable locking pins and the movable bracket assembly comprises at least a set of receiving apertures adapted to receive the set of locking pins when the set of locking pins is in a first engaged position, and wherein the antenna is fixedly coupled to the movable bracket assembly, the method comprising:

• determining a second azimuth setting for the antenna, wherein the antenna is currently at a first azimuth setting;
• actuating the set of locking pins to transition the set of locking pins from the first engaged position to a second disengaged position such that the set of locking pins is disengaged from the set of receiving apertures;
• actuating a gearbox assembly mechanically coupled to the movable bracket assembly for a predetermined period of time such that the movable bracket assembly is angularly rotated in a first direction relative to the pivot rod, the movable bracket assembly angularly rotated to the second azimuth setting;
• and
• actuating the set of locking pins to transition the set of locking pins from the second disengaged position to the first engaged position thereby fixing the antenna at the second azimuth setting.
