Abstract
A data communications apparatus including a case. A power supply is secured inside the case. A router device is secured inside the case, the router device selectively receiving power from the power supply. The router device includes at least one cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable at least one wireless network for local area network communication. An antenna array is in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least two cellular antennas and at least one wireless networking antenna. The first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway.
Claims18
A data communications apparatus comprising:
- a brief case style portable carrying case having a length, width, and a depth, the length having the largest dimension;
- a power supply securable inside the case;
- a router device securable inside the case, the router device including at least one cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable at least one wireless network for local area network communication, the at least one wireless network having a service set identifier (SSID), wherein the SSID can accommodate multiple users;
- and
- an antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least a first pair of cellular antennas and at least one wireless networking antenna;
- wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway.
A data communications apparatus for providing a data communications network, the apparatus comprising:
- a suit case style portable carrying case having a length, width, and a depth, the length having the largest dimension;
- a power supply securable inside the case;
- a router device securable inside the case, the router device including a cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable two or more segmented, wireless networks for local area network communication, each wireless network having a separate service set identifier (SSID);
- and
- an antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least two cellular antennas and at least one wireless networking antenna, the first pair of cellular antennas positioned on opposing sides of the length of the case, and the at least one wireless networking antenna positioned between the cellular antennas with respect to the length of the case;
- wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway.
A data communications apparatus for providing a data communications network, the apparatus comprising:
- a brief case style portable carrying case having a base and a lid, as well as a length, width, and a depth, the length having the largest dimension;
- a power supply securable inside the case;
- a router device securable inside the case, the router device selectively receiving power from the power supply, the router device including at least one cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable two or more segmented, wireless networks for local area network communication, each wireless network having a separate service set identifier (SSID), wherein each SSID can accommodate multiple users;
- and
- an antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least two cellular antennas and at least one wireless networking antenna;
- wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway.
