Remote communications system distribution module and method

A system for mesh networking communication in remote locations, the system comprising:

• two or more distribution module (DM) devices each comprising:
• a rigid case having a hollow interior,
• a single-board computer (SBC) mounted within the rigid case,
• a first radio configured to serve as an internet access point and communicably coupled within the rigid case to the SBC,
• a second radio with meshing capabilities and communicably coupled within the rigid case to the SBC,
• a third radio with meshing capabilities and communicably coupled within the rigid case to the SBC, wherein the second and third radios each operate at a higher bandwidth than the first radio;
• and
• a computing device communicably coupled with the two or more DM devices, wherein the computing device has a computer program operating thereon, wherein the computer program is configured for management of the SBC of any of the two or more DM devices.

• a third radio with meshing capabilities and communicably coupled within the rigid case to the SBC, wherein the second and third radios each operate at a higher bandwidth than the first radio;
• and
• a plurality of ports extending through the rigid case and at least one of electrically and communicatively coupled with one or more of the SBC, the first radio, the second radio, and the third radio;
• and
• a plurality of external antennae each coupled to at least one of the plurality of ports.
