  • Patent number: 11877353
    Abstract: Disclosed is a self-contained mesh radio extension unit, comprising a receiving sleeve having an open volume and a first data connector for communicative coupling to a communication device or cellular phone inserted in the open volume. A low-gain internal antenna and a high-gain external antenna are coupled to a digital data link (DDL) with a first DDL operating frequency. The DDL provides bidirectional internet protocol (IP) connectivity between the first data connector and a peer-to-peer meshed communication network, controlling one or more of the antennae as transceivers at the first DDL operating frequency. An integrated power supply system powers the DDL and includes a rechargeable internal battery and an external power interface. A control system automatically routes IP packets received or transmitted by the DDL and includes a network address translation (NAT) router and an IP addressing service for assigning and tracking IP addresses across the peer-to-peer meshed communication network.

  • Patent number: 11871393
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communication station including an edge server configured to establish a wireless connection with a network and receive first and second data from the network, and a baseband radio configured to receive the first and second data from the edge server and convert the first and second data to first and second digital transmission data. The wireless communication station further includes first and second radio frequency (RF) front end modules removably attached to the baseband radio and operable in first and second frequency bands, respectively, and configured to receive the first and second digital transmission data, convert the first and second digital transmission data to first and second RF transmission data, and transmit the first and second RF transmission data. The edge server, the baseband radio, and the first and second RF front end modules are provided in the housing, and the first and second frequency bands are different.

  • Patent number: 11870640
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a self-contained multi-modal communication system. The multi-modal communication system comprises a first mobile telecommunication node, which provides a private telecommunication network, a layer 2 (L2) backhaul wireless transceiver, an ethernet switch and an embedded edge cloud compute device. The edge cloud compute device includes an automatic failover detection system, wherein the automatic failover detection system receives as input a plurality of network parameters and automatically performs failover and communication modality switching for one or more communication devices associated with the self-contained multi-modal communication system.
