Abstract

Described may be a modular network communication system for use in a foundational structure, for the inclusion of new foundational structure construction, or configured for mobility between different foundational structures. The network communication system may be configured to support a broad array of network-related communications. The foundational structure's modular network communication system may have a controller, a power connection point, a communication protocol, and may include one or more than one network node. The controller unit may have processing circuitry and may be configured to utilize a communication protocol for controlling the foundational structure's information flow of the modular network communication system. Additionally, the controller may be further configured to communicate with at least one, but also more than one network-connected device which may or may not be connected to the internet.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/060,046 filed on Sep. 30, 2020, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/911,884 filed Oct. 7, 2019. All the above-identified applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties as though fully and completely set forth herein. TECHNICAL FIELD The disclosure herein relates generally to modular nodes and housing therein which is universally mountable. More particularly, the disclosure relates to devices and apparatuses to facilitate the deployment of a modular data and power network system, being integratable with any smart network, which may perform a wide variety of smart structure functions and to better enable any given constructed and foundational structure equipped with said smart functions the full ability to provide any internet and/or network-connected device a singular avenue of connectivity. BACKGROUND Use of household, industrial, or commercial technologies such as security systems, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) control, Wi-Fi, and other technologies that send, receive, aggregate and process data presently requires each of these technologies to be installed separately, often utilizing incompatible network architecture or otherwise requires additional complexity and/or devices to send, receive, aggregate and process. In particular, with the advent of the ‘smart home’ or ‘smart workspace’ concept, these otherwise independent technologies are increasingly being required to interconnect, for which presently there is no uniformity in design, data architecture, or function, and which leads to multiple networks for each type of device and/or data that is being collected within a single network for a given structure. All smart home or work functionality, whether independent or interconnected, requires data input, aggregation, processing, and output, increasingly from multiple devices and technologies to provide the result(s) desired by the user. Further, the space available for each of these devices and/or functions that are being utilized, grows increasingly scarce in a given environment, and connecting each of these devices, if independent, results in significant data, power, and other connections from the device to a centralized location, or locations. This further negatively impacts the functionality of each device, if independent, in that the optimum location for the functionality of such a device may be limited and/or compromised based on the location available. Such space requirements, as new technologies and devices are made available, often result in complexity, confusion, selection of the less-than-optimal location of such device(s), and further requires multiple secondary locations to aggregate the data generated by such devices, which then requires processing to render any of the data generated usable for a given smart home or office function. What is needed is a platform in which technologies do not need to be installed in separate locales, thus freeing up network architecture and usable space in a given environment. Moreover, said platform should be made simple, widely compatible with other devices, and otherwise does not require additional complexity from devices to send, receive, aggregate, and process data. Such a platform should seamlessly integrate with current and future smart home and smart workspace concepts and provide interconnectivity and uniformity in design and function. Further, said platform should occupy as little space as possible for each of these devices and/or functions utilized and not impact the already increasingly scarce physical space available to technology, devices, and the technology arising from the many devices. Finally, what space is utilized for the platform should be an optimal location such that the technology provided by the platform will provide the greatest efficacy for the smallest space cost.
