Fail-safe communication systems and methods

A method for fail-safe communication, comprising:

• relaying sets of data by a first point-to-point communication system:
• (i) from a core network to a wireline communication interface belonging to said first point-to-point communication system via a backhaul cable, (ii) from said wireline communication interface to point-to-point communication components of said first point-to-point communication system, and (iii) from said point-to-point communication components of said first point-to-point communication system to a remote site;
• detecting, by said wireline communication interface, a failure in the point-to-point communication components of said first point-to-point communication system or in a first power supplier located in said first point-to-point communication system, said failure preventing said first point-to-point communication system from relaying said sets of data between the core network and the remote site;
• and
• bypassing, by said wireline communication interface, the point-to-point communication components of said first point-to-point communication system, by routing the sets of dada from said wireline communication interface to point-to-point communication components of a second point-to-point communications system via a bypass cable, thereby allowing delivery of said sets of data to said remote site via the second point-to-point communication system.

A fail-safe communication system operative to communicatively connect a remote site with a core network, and having a single feed cable, comprising:

• a first point-to-point communication system;
• a second point-to-point communication system;
• and
• a feed cable directly connecting said first point-to-point communication systems with a remote site;
• wherein the first point-to-point communication system comprises a wireline communication interface operative to:
• (i) communicatively connect said feed cable with point-to-point communication components of said first point-to-point communication system, and (ii) communicatively connect said feed cable, using a bypass cable, with point-to-point communication component of said second point-to-point communication system, in an event of malfunction associated with the first point-to-point communication system, such that the second point-to-point communication system performs point-to-point and data relaying instead of the first point-to-point communication system.
