A bracing system protects and secures the internal components of a mobile communication system. The bracing system includes an upper housing comprised of a shock resistant material. The upper housing includes a monitor cavity, elevated portions surrounding the monitor cavity and formed in the upper housing, and elastomer sections disposed on the elevated portions. In addition, the upper housing includes a breakage resistant transparent material placed on the elastomer sections and in conformity with the monitor cavity, a display monitor being protected by the breakage resistant material, and a shock absorbing material disposed around the peripheries of the breakage resistant transparent material and the display monitor. The shock absorbing material is mounted to at least one of the breakage resistant transparent material and the display monitor. The upper housing also includes a mounting bracket biasing the display monitor to the upper housing and the breakage resistant material, and mounted to the upper housing, an integral keyboard formed of a water resistant material including elevated keys and mounting holes arranged around the periphery and between selected keys, and a first printed circuit board including switches selectively activated in response to depression of the elevated keys and mounted to the upper housing through the mounting holes in the integral keyboard.

The bracing system also includes a lower housing comprised of another shock resistant material. The lower housing includes a second printed circuit board including a central processing unit, and mounted to the lower housing, and a support mounted to the lower housing and extending in a direction toward the upper housing and through the second printed circuit board.

Mobile communicator bracing system

A mobile satellite system includes a satellite communication switching office having a satellite antenna for receiving/transmitting a satellite message via a satellite from/to a vehicle using a mobile communication system, a satellite interface system, and a fleet management system including a central controller. The mobile communication system includes a housing having a shock resistant material. The housing includes end bumpers of an elastomeric material for absorbing shock experienced by the housing. The end bumpers each include recessed handles on an upper surface of the mobile communicator system and ribbed protruded finger grips on a bottom surface of the mobile communication system. The mobile communication system also includes an input device for inputting data. The input device comprises a keyboard including a rubber/carbon membrane and mounted in the housing using a first seal to prevent fluid from entering the mobile communication system between the input device and the housing. The mobile communication system also includes a central processing unit disposed in the housing that receives either data from the input device or sensor data received from the mobile sensing station. The central processing unit also outputs satellite data to the satellite interface system for transmission to the satellite. The mobile communication system further includes a display monitor comprised of tempered glass having the ability to withstand a
