Modular communications system with dynamically positionable antenna elements

A modular communications systems comprising:

• an apparel item comprising:
• a surface;
• a foam layer positioned therein;
• a plurality of landing pads positioned proximate to the surface, each landing pad of the plurality of landing pads uniquely positioned on the surface relative to other landing pads of the plurality of landing pads;
• a plurality of non-metallic antenna elements each:
• demountably, intermittingly, and conductively coupled to a unique landing pad of the plurality of landing pads;
• comprising a non-metallic conductive composition;
• comprising a unique operational frequency compared to at least one antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements;
• a hub positioned on the surface and conductively coupled to each of the landing pads;
• a plurality of communications devices, wherein each communications device:
• is demountably affixed to the surface;
• intermittingly, demountably, and conductively coupled to the hub;
• comprises an operational frequency;
• wherein the hub intermittingly, demountably, and conductively couples each of the communications devices to one of the landing pads;
• wherein the foam layer is lined with a conductive material;
• wherein the plurality of non-metallic antenna elements comprise an antenna array;
• wherein the conductive material reflects radiofrequency radiation that emanates from the plurality of non-metallic antenna elements;
• wherein the modular communications system achieves an omnidirectional RF radiation pattern when utilizing the plurality of antenna elements;
• and
• wherein the modular communications system achieves an altered RF radiation pattern when utilizing a subset of the plurality of antenna elements.
