MOBILE BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, SUCH AS A DEPLOYABLE SELF-CONTAINED PORTABLE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A mobile, integrated communications system for establishing a self-supported communications network, the system comprising:
- a plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components coupled together and configured to provide the communications network;
a management subsystem operatively coupled to the plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components;
a network connection subsystem defined by at least a first portion of the plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components and the management subsystem and configured to establish access to the communications network;
a connection subsystem defined by at least a second portion of the plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components and that provides a user with a connection to the communications network via the network connection subsystem;
one or more support members, the plurality of commercial off-the-shelf components being carried by the one or more support members; and
a housing receiving the one or more support members, wherein the one or more support members can be moved relative to the housing between an installed and uninstalled position, at least a portion of the management subsystem being carried by the housing.
