Abstract: Embodiments relate to a communications node that includes an interfacing plate assembly; an antenna assembly; a board mounting assembly; a housing; and an enclosure. The housing includes the antenna assembly and the board mounting assembly. The enclosure is a rigid, open ended, sleeve structure that selectively receives the housing and thereby encloses the antenna assembly and the board mounting assembly therein. An interfacing plate assembly is positioned at a second end. The interfacing plate includes an input device coupled to the control circuit that receives user operational input. The antenna assembly includes an antenna frame that includes the antenna elements and orients the antenna elements in each nodal cardinal direction. The board mounting assembly includes the communication device and the control circuit that are positioned proximate to a plate. The plate is coupled to the first end opposite the interfacing plate and thermally coupled to the control circuit.

Abstract: Various wearable communications pouches (“WCP”) having modular and static antenna elements of reduced visual signature are provided. The WCP demountably couples to the shoulder straps of articles, garments, and baggage items. The WCP includes a front panel and shoulder strap(s) pivotably coupled to opposite sides of a back panel. The back panel includes a communications hub that has antenna ports that are each conductively coupled to an antenna element or antenna attachment site. Each antenna attachment site receives a demountable antenna element. The antenna element and demountable antenna element include a conductive composition that includes a polymer and graphene sheets present as a percolated network therein. The back panel includes a fastener positioned proximate to the hub that receives and secures a portable radio. The front panel, back panel, and shoulder strap each include a RF shielding material to shield the user from RF radiation that emanates from the WCP.
