A system includes a cellular transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target; one or more antennas coupled to the 5G or 6G transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target; a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with the predetermined target; and an edge processing module coupled to the processor and the one or more antennas to provide low-latency computation for the predetermined target.

A mounting structure for protecting a transceiver located on an underside of a manhole cover is formed from a metal or rugged plastic in the shape of a truncated dome or cone with a sloping sidewall and a cavity configured to receive a transceiver, wherein the mounting structure is mountable to an underside of the manhole cover. A data communication system for an enclosure comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with a network outside of the enclosure and a mounting structure to mount the transceiver to an underside of the manhole cover. The mounting structure is configured to protect the transceiver from damage during removal of the manhole cover from the entrance port of the enclosure.

A downhole communication includes an antenna winding fixed to an inner surface of a collar. A fluid flow flows through a center of the antenna winding. The antenna winding is wound around a chassis in an antenna channel in the chassis. The chassis is attached to the inner surface of the collar with a seal such that fluid does not travel between the fluid flow and an annulus between the antenna winding and the inner surface of the collar. A difference in diameter between an upper seal and a lower seal results in a net force to push the chassis against a shoulder on the collar.

An antenna assembly includes a tool mandrel having a tool axis, and a coil including a plurality of windings wrapped about the tool mandrel at a winding angle offset from the tool axis. A soft magnetic band radially interposes the coil and the tool mandrel and extends about a circumference of the tool mandrel at a band angle orthogonal to the winding angle. The soft magnetic band includes a plurality of inserts, and a gap is defined between each laterally adjacent insert and the gap extends parallel to the tool axis.
