Abstract: A self-contained wireless internet protocol system includes a power supply converter for receiving input power of any type and converting the input power to a system power. A wireless local area network (WLAN) bridge and a wireless wide area network (WWAN) bridge contained within a case receives the system power. A mobile access router also receives the system power and facilitates data communications between the WLAN bridge and the WWAN bridge.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a system for supplying electrical connectivity to one or more circuit board based devices includes a backplane and at least one module. The backplane includes a mounting surface having a plurality of modular power connectors. The at least one module includes an interface portion, a power connection portion, and a circuit board. The power connection portion is configured to connect with the corresponding one of the plurality of modular power connectors. The circuit board includes a plurality of power-related electrical contacts and a plurality of data-related electrical contacts. At least one of the plurality of power-related electrical contacts is connected with the power connection portion, and at least one of the plurality of data-related electrical contacts is connected with the interface portion.
