Abstract: A mobile communications infrastructure platform includes a networking module that includes a plurality of inputs and outputs and a POTS line connection; a satellite module coupled to the networking module for uplinking and downlinking a satellite datastream with a communications satellite; a video module for providing a video datastream to the networking module; and a wireless telecommunications module bidirectionally coupled to the networking module for receiving telecom data from and transmitting telecom data to the networking module. The wireless telecommunications module includes a VOIP interface coupled to the networking module, a land mobile radio coupled to the VOIP interface, and a private cellular network. The mobile platform provides a bi-directional patch or link between disparate communications equipment and protocols at a site and to off-site wireless radio equipment.
