1. A kit comprising:
a housing;
a rotatable split yoke connected to mount the housing onto a horizontal lighting spoke pipe of a hub ring of a high mast configured to support a high mast lighting apparatus, the rotatable split yoke being adapted and configured to be fastened onto and retained by the horizontal lighting spoke pipe;
a power interface that interfaces with 480 VAC power the high mast provides to the high mast lighting apparatus, the power interface including a voltage downconverter that steps down the 480 VAC power supplied by the high mast to a battery charging voltage;
at least one battery disposed in the housing, the at least one battery being connected to charge in response to the battery charging voltage; and
a MIMO-based wireless access point mounted in or on the housing, the MIMO-based wireless access point including a radio transceiver connected to a directional antenna array, the directional antenna array oriented to exhibit a radiation pattern having a major lobe that points down to the earth when the rotatable split yoke is fastened onto and retained by the horizontal lighting spoke pipe.
