LinkRunner AT is a rugged, fast, copper & fiber ethernet network connectivity tester designed for frontline technicians

Conceptual

I took inspiration from rugged walkie-talkies and flip phones, which have a history of isolating the antenna for optimal signal strength. Meeting critical antenna spacing resulted in a taller "forehead."

I incorporated a negative space design element inspired by Fluke's clamp meters to minimize the visual mass.

Unfortunately, the void had to be filled in, as concerns with EMI and signal attenuation led us to err on the side of caution.
