Claims13
A method for remote line powering in a telecommunication network comprising:
- supplying electric power via a plurality of line pairs that are suitable for use in said telecommunication network;
- and
- aggregating the electric power supplied via the plurality of line pairs to provide electric power suitable for powering an appliance, characterized in that the electric power supplied via each line pair of said plurality of line pairs does not exceed a pre-defined threshold.
Apparatus for remote line powering in a telecommunication network comprising:
- a plurality of line pair terminations terminating a corresponding plurality of line pairs that are suitable for use in said telecommunication network, the line pairs being operative to convey electric power supplied by a corresponding plurality of power sources;
- and
- an electric power aggregator operative to aggregate the electric power supplied via the plurality of line pairs to provide electric power suitable for powering an appliance, and to control that the electric power supplied via each line pair of said plurality of line pairs does not exceed a pre-defined threshold.
