Abstract: A system and method is provided to extend transmission range of a digital subscriber line (DSL). In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input signal including a broadband data signal having a first signal strength and a telecommunication signal. The broadband data signal may be separated from the telecommunication signal. The broadband data corresponding to the broadband data signal may be regenerated, wherein the regenerated broadband data signal has a second signal strength which is greater than the first signal strength according to an embodiment of the invention. According to another aspect of the invention, the regenerated broadband data signal may be merged with the telecommunication signal into an output signal and the output signal may be transmitted over a subscriber line.

Abstract: A system for establishing a universal or overlapping wireless broadband network composed of a plurality of Access Points (AP). These APs may be coupled to existing copper transmission lines, and may work alone or in groups to provide wireless network access. Different types of APs may be utilized to perform various communication-functions, and these nodes may obtain power and/or communication resources from the existing copper transmission lines. Further, peripheral devices may be coupled to nodes to provide ancillary functionality to the system.

Different types of APs may be utilized to perform various communication-functions, and these nodes may obtain power and/or communication resources from the existing copper transmission lines, and communication resources from either the existing copper transmission lines or from fiber optic transmission lines. Further, peripheral devices may be coupled to nodes to provide ancillary functionality to the system.

Abstract: A system and apparatus are provided for supplying network line power (NLP). In one embodiment a network line power termination (NLPT) provides NLP to a network termination. The NLPT includes input terminals configured to receive network line power from a network communication line, and at least one voltage converter configured to receive the enhanced voltage received from the network communication line to supply DC voltage. Output terminals of the NLPT are coupled to the voltage converter and may be configured to output converted voltage. The NLPT may be further configured for outputting voltage converted by the voltage converter as one or more of a reliable primary or backup power source for a network termination.
