1. A data communications apparatus for providing a data communications network, the apparatus comprising: a brief case style portable carrying case having an external length, width, and depth, the length having the largest dimension, the length being between about 16 inches and about 22 inches;a power supply securable inside the case;a router device securable inside the case, the router device including at least one cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable two or more segmented, wireless networks for local area network communication, each wireless network having a separate service set identifier (SSID), wherein each SSID can accommodate multiple users; andan antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least a first pair of cellular antennas and at least two wireless networking antennas, the first pair of cellular antennas positioned on opposing sides of the length of the case, the at least two wireless networking antenna positioned between the first pair of cellular antennas;wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway, and the at least two wireless networking antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the two or more segmented, wireless networks. 2. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein each SSID can accommodate up to 32 users. 3. The data communications apparatus of claim 2, wherein each SSID is defined by a separate password. 4. The data communications apparatus of claim 2, wherein the router device is configured to enable four wireless networks, with each SSID simultaneously accommodating up to 32 users, such that the apparatus can accommodate up to 128 wireless users. 5. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the router includes a second cellular gateway, the antenna array further includes a second pair of cellular antennas; and each pair of cellular antennas is configured to send and receive cellular signals and accommodate multiple input and multiple output applications across a corresponding cellular gateway such that the apparatus can accommodate cellular service with two cellular carriers simultaneously. 6. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein each cellular antenna is secured on an independent ground plane having dimensions of at least 400 mm×400 mm. 7. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein each cellular antenna is secured inside the case such that each cellular antenna has a substantially vertical polarity. 8. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the two cellular antennas are configured to receive between 2.8 and 5.1 W of power from the power supply. 9. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein the router device includes two separate routers, each router having a cellular gateway for accommodating cellular service with two cellular carriers simultaneously, one carrier for each router. 10. The data communications apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the apparatus when in use provides wireless and cellular signal to end user devices. 11. A data communications apparatus for providing a data communications network, the apparatus comprising: a suit case style portable carrying case having an external length, width, and depth, the length having the largest dimension, the length being between about 16 inches and about 22 inches;a power supply securable inside the case;a router device securable inside the case, the router device including twe a cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable two or more segmented, wireless networks for local area network communication, each wireless network having a separate service set identifier (SSID); andan antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least two cellular antennas and at least two wireless networking antennas, and a global position system antenna, the first pair of cellular antennas positioned on opposing sides of the length of the case, the at least two wireless networking antennas positioned between the first pair of cellular antennas, and the global positioning antenna is positioned between the at least two wireless networking antennas;wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway, and the at least two wireless networking antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the two or more segmented, wireless networks. 12. The data communications apparatus of claim 11, further comprising: the case having a base and a lid connected to the base, a base foam cushion positioned in the base and at least partially surrounding the power supply and the router device; and a lid foam cushion positioned in the lid and at least partially surrounding the antenna array; wherein: the base foam cushion includes a first base foam cushion layer and a second base foam cushion layer, the first base foam cushion layer positioned between the base and the second base foam cushion layer, the second base foam cushion layer having a greater foam density than the first base foam cushion layer. 13. The data communications apparatus of claim 12, further comprising: a plurality of polymer strips structurally adhered to the base; and a plurality of fastening straps, each of the fastening straps attached to a corresponding polymer strip, the fastening straps adhered to the base via the corresponding polymer strips; wherein each of the power supply and the router device is secured within the base with at least one corresponding fastening strap. 14. A data communications apparatus for providing a data communications network, the apparatus comprising: a brief case style portable carrying case having a base and a lid, as well as an external length, width, and depth, the length having the largest dimension, the length being between about 16 inches and about 22 inches;a power supply securable inside the case;a router device securable inside the case, the router device selectively receiving power from the power supply, the router device including at least one cellular gateway for wide area network communication as well as being configured to enable two or more segmented, wireless networks for local area network communication, each wireless network having a separate service set identifier (SSID), wherein each SSID can accommodate multiple users; andan antenna array in electrical communication with the router device, the antenna array including at least two cellular antennas oriented on the case such that the cellular antennas have a vertical polarity, and two wireless networking antennas, the first pair of cellular antennas positioned adjacent opposing edges of the length of the case and at least about 12 inches apart, the two wireless networking antennas positioned between the two cellular networking antennas,wherein the first pair of cellular antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the at least one cellular gateway, and the at least two wireless networking antennas are configured to support multiple input multiple output applications for the two or more segmented, wireless networks. 15.
