A novel locking mechanism for mounting a radio to an antenna. The mounting face of a radio is secured to the mounting portion of an antenna. The mounting portion of the radio has a locking ring on which a plurality of radio locking tabs are located at equally spaced positions. The ring can be fixed to the radio, or in another embodiment, is still secured to the radio but can rotate independently. The mounting portion of the antenna has a corresponding number of equidistantly spaced tension springs, which have a plurality of spring fingers. To mount the radio to the antenna, the radio locking ring with radio locking tabs is twisted so that each antenna tension spring is deflected by a corresponding radio locking tab. The engagement of the radio locking ring to the antenna spring fingers secures the radio to the antenna. The deflection force also produces a friction force.

A discrete access point mounting system is provided that is configured to be mounted to a wall or other like mounting surface. The discrete access point mounting system provides for the consolidation of one or more receptacle connections behind a single mounting plate to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appearance of access points. Moreover, the system enhances the protection of cable from a connector jack to one or more receptacles from damage and contamination. The discrete access point mounting system includes a surface mounting plate suitable for being mounted or connected to a wall or other like mounting surface. The surface mounting plate defines a frame having at least one receptacle opening suitable for mounting at least one connector receptacle and further including at least one wall mounting feature. The wall mounting feature supports the weight of the discrete access point mounting system, the weight of an access point, or a combination thereof. A jack mounting plate is operatively connected to the surface mounting plate and defines a frame having a jack opening suitable for mounting at least one connector jack. The area between the surface mounting plate and the jack mounting plate defines a cord storage area suitable for storing a length of cord connecting a connector jack and at least one connector receptacle.
