Abstract
A system for communicating wireless signals over a cable network includes a wireless over cable (WoC) amplifier configured to communicate wireless frequency band signals with a modem. The system may also include a WoC splitter configured to communicate the wireless frequency band signals with the WoC amplifier directly or via one or more cables, and a WoC adapter configured to receive the wireless frequency band signals from the WoC splitter via one or more cables and transmit the wireless frequency band signals wirelessly to one or more wireless communication devices.
Claims15
A system for communicating wireless signals with an extended range over a cable network, comprising:
- a wireless-over-cable splitter configured to communicate external network signals with a service provider network;
- a frequency band separation device configured to separate wireless frequency band signals from the external network signals;
- a wireless-over-cable adapter configured to be electrically connected to the wireless-over-cable splitter;
- a wireless-over-cable amplifier configured to communicate the wireless frequency band signals to and from a modem, the modem being connected to an internet service provider network;
- wherein the wireless-over-cable amplifier includes a wireless signal amplifier configured to be connected with the modem;
- and
- wherein the wireless-over-cable adapter is configured to transmit the wireless frequency band signals wirelessly such that a range of the wireless frequency band signals is extended.
A system for communicating wireless signals with an extended range over a cable network, comprising:
- a wireless-over-cable splitter configured to split received wireless frequency band signals from received external network signals;
- a wireless-over-cable amplifier configured to communicate the wireless frequency band signals with a modem that is configured to communicate an external network signal with an external network;
- and
- a wireless-over-cable adapter configured to be electrically connected to the wireless-over-cable splitter so as to receive the wireless frequency band signals from the wireless-over-cable splitter and transmit the wireless frequency band signals at least to a wireless communication device such that the wireless frequency band signals have an extended range to the wireless communications device.
A system for communicating wireless signals with an extended range over a cable network having a splitter, comprising:
- a wireless-over-cable device configured to be connected to an external network and communicate external network signals and wireless frequency band signals therewith and to communicate the wireless frequency band signals with an adapter;
- an amplifier configured to wirelessly communicate the wireless frequency band signals to and from a modem;
- and
- wherein the adapter is configured to receive the wireless frequency band signals and transmit the wireless frequency band signals wirelessly such that a range of the wireless frequency band signals is extended.
