Abstract: A grip including at least two hinged monopods, each having an independent leg extension, the monopods in the closed position forming a hand grip, and a mounting assembly for mounting the grip on a device, and a method for forming the grip. Preferably, the leg extension includes a housing in each of the monopods and at least one spring biased leg telescopingly mounted in the housing.

Abstract: A mobile broadband wireless system including at least two pairs of nodes arranged in a cluster, each pair coupled to form a link for wireless communication. Each node includes an RF transceiver with associated modem, an antenna array arrangement coupled to the modem and arranged for multiple concurrent transmissions, where each antenna has a beam pattern selected to improve quality of transmission, and a controller for controlling the transceiver, modem and antenna array arrangement for providing point to point communication. The controller allocates MIMO streams and modulation to different antennas in the antenna array arrangement, and implements at least one interference mitigation mechanism to minimize interference within the cluster during multiple concurrent transmissions. A method of wireless communication is also provided.
