A container for communication devices and communication systems used in cellular networks. There is a need for resilient systems that can withstand extreme weather events. Cellular network infrastructure located close to coastal regions is particularly prone to disruptive failures. A container for an electronic communications device is also provided including: a housing that surrounds at least one mounting plate on which electrical devices and electronic devices are supported. The housing is received around a top edge by a recess in a top plate and around a bottom edge by a recess in a bottom plate. The top and bottom plates are clamped to seal the housing. In some embodiments the housing is connected to a sea borne infrastructure such as buoy. Node frames enable a communications infrastructure that has no single point of failure.

An electronic device according to the present invention comprises a main body including a pair of body chassis, a pair of cover panels disposed to cover the front face and the back face of the main body, a switch unit disposed on the side part of the main body, an operation button which is held between the pair of cover panels and has a pusher projecting therefrom, a housing recess which is formed on at least one of the body chassis and recessed on a joint surface with the other body chassis to form a housing chamber for the switch unit, a through hole penetrating the one body chassis from the side face toward the housing recess, and a bag-like waterproof packing member which is attached to the through hole and recessed toward the switch unit to house the pusher of the operation button. The pusher of the operation button passes through the through hole toward the switch unit, and the end of the waterproof packing member is pressed against the switch unit to fixedly hold the switch unit inside the housing recess.

A base station system includes a base station device (1), a wireless transmission device (2) and a data transfer device (3), each of which can be installed outdoors. Enclosures (12, 22 and 32) of the devices (1-3) each provide a degree of protection from water and dust ingress necessary for being installed outdoors. The enclosure (12) of the base station device (1) accommodates electronic equipment (11) functioning as a base station. The enclosure (22) of the wireless transmission device (2) accommodates electronic equipment (21) functioning as a radio station to perform wireless transmission with the other device for connecting the base station device (1) to a mobile backhaul network. The enclosure (32) of the data transfer device (3) accommodates electronic equipment (31) functioning as a router or a switch to transfer data packets or data flames between the base station device (1) and the wireless transmission device (2). This eliminates the need for construction of a building/shelter to install the base station system.

A portable alarm system is disclosed. The portable alarm system includes a portable base station, which has an outer housing that encloses a power supply and a secondary protective housing. The secondary protective housing encloses at least a controller and a cellular modem that are electrically connected to each other. An energy storage device, such as a super capacitor, is configured to maintain a store of energy and is electrically connected to the controller and the cellular modem to provide an alternative power source thereto.

The remote unit for the distribution of radio-frequency signals comprises: a plurality of electronic devices or modules operatively connected to each other for the processing of a radio-frequency signal to distribute within a coverage area, characterized in that it comprises: a first section having at least one of the electronic devices or modules; a second section having at least one of the electronic devices or modules; a connection element having a first portion associated integral with the first section and a second portion, substantially opposite to the first portion and associated integral with the second section; wherein the first section and the second section are arranged substantially aligned to each other along a longitudinal axis.

A ruggedized mobile computing device is enclosed by a multi-layer housing providing protection of the device and its individual components (e.g., processors, sensors, touchscreens, peripheral devices and ports) from wear and tear, impact shock, and extreme weather conditions. The mobile device may be rechargeable via a resonant charging receiver connectable to a companion resonant charging transmitter housed in a vehicle cradle or mount, to which the mobile device can be removably mounted for hands-free use or use in a motor vehicle. The mobile device may incorporate scanners, cameras, sensors, and other peripheral devices, and further connect to additional external scanners, sensors, or input devices through its peripheral ports.

This application relates to various button related embodiments for use with a portable electronic device. In some embodiments, a snap clip can be integrated with a button bracket to save space where two separate brackets would take up too much space in the portable electronic device. In other embodiments, a tactile switch can be waterproofed by welding a polymeric layer atop a tactile switch assembly. In this way water can be prevented from contacting moisture sensitive components of the tactile switch assembly. The weld joining the polymeric layer to the tactile switch can include at least one gap to trapped gas surrounding the tactile switch assembly to enter and exit during heat excursions caused by various operating and/or assembly operations.

It is described an emergency device (100) for divers comprising a watertight case (101) structured to assume a submerged position and an emerged position. The watertight case includes: a depth sensor (102) configured to determine a depth value associated with the submerged position assumed by the emergency device when a user activates an emergency procedure; a positioning device (103) configured to determine a geographic position, including latitude and longitude, assumed by the emergency device (100) in the emerged position; a GSM or satellite telephone transmitter/receiver (104) configured to transmit an emergency message comprising said depth value and said geographic position.

Disclosed herein are embodiments including a modular base station that is, for example, easily deployable in emerging markets. The modular base station is designed to be easily transported and affixed, for example, to poles or trees. The modular base station is designed to withstand high temperatures caused by operating at high altitudes and to be easily configured, oriented, and serviced in the field. Its components (e.g., radio frequency (RF) circuit boards) are modular so as to interoperate with various third-party compatible devices.

An electronic device includes a case, a panel which includes a first surface including a contour line and is held by the case such that the first surface faces outward, the contour line being provided with a first recess, a first component located in the case, and a cover which is provided with a through hole or a cut for communication between the first component and the outside and is located to hide the first recess when the first surface is two-dimensionally viewed.
