Abstract

L'invention concerne une station intermédiaire (10) pour un réseau (11) sans fil, pouvant être déployée entre une station (12) de niveau supérieur et au moins un dispositif (14.1 à 14.n) d'utilisateur final sans fil. La station intermédiaire comprend une enceinte (16). Un ensemble de circuits électroniques (18) comprenant un émetteur-récepteur de fréquence radio est situé dans l'enceinte. Au moins une antenne (20) est également située dans l'enceinte et l'antenne est connectée à l'émetteur-récepteur. Au moins une première partie (22) de l'enceinte (16) est composée d'un matériau qui est transparent aux signaux de fréquence radio, afin de permettre la propagation des signaux (24) de fréquence radio à travers la au moins une première partie (22) de l'enceinte vers et depuis l'antenne. La station comprend en outre au moins un écran (28, 30) sur l'enceinte (16) pouvant fonctionner pour afficher la signalisation.
