Patent number: 9674678Abstract: An architecture is provided for coupling wireless local area network (WLAN) signals between an internetworking device and a remotely located access point using a transport network. The access point is coupled to the transport network for communicating with the internetworking device. The access point includes a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point and an access point remote converter. The WLAN access point receives wireless local area network signals from wireless computing equipment and converts such signals to local area network compatible signals. The access point remote converter receives the local area network compatible signals from the WLAN access point and converts the signals to transport modulated format signals suitable for transmission over the transport network.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Charles H.

Patent number: 8379569Abstract: A simple and low cost architecture for a distribution network is provided for coupling wireless local area network (“wireless LAN”) signals between geographically distributed access points and centrally located internetworking devices. The distribution network eliminates complexities involved with the deployment of such systems in the past, which have typically required the computer network-compatible wiring to be extended to each access point directly from an internetworking device such as a repeater, bridge, router, or gateway. The distribution network makes it economically efficient to deploy wireless local area networking equipment in locations where wired network infrastructure is not readily available.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Charles H. Bianchi, Ken C. Greenwood, John Sabat, Jr.

Patent number: 7359392Abstract: A distribution network for coupling wireless signals between an internetworking device and a plurality of remotely located access points to provide wireless service within a geographic coverage area composed of microcells. The distribution network makes use of available transport cabling. Examples of such wireless signals include wireless metropolitan area network signals and mobile broadband wireless network signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: ADC Wireless Solutions, LLCInventors: Charles H.

Publication number: 20040057393Abstract: A simple and low cost architecture for coupling wireless metropolitan area network and mobile broadband wireless network signals between geographically distributed access points and centrally located internetworking devices. A cable access point (CAP) is associated with each respective microcell. Each CAP includes a remote bridge to convert such signals to a convenient transport format depending upon the available cabling. For example, if the available cabling is a cable television (CATV) plant, the transport signals are first converted to a T1/T3 format and up-converted to a carrier frequency suitable for the CATV plant. Alternatively, the transport signals may be converted to cable modem signals. If the available cabling is twisted pair telephone type wiring, the remote bridge converts the transport signals to a suitable Digital Subscriber Line (XDSL) format. The transport signals are collected at a central distribution or head end access point (HAP).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Applicant: OpenCell CorporationInventors: Charles H. Bianchi, Ken C. Greenwood, John Sabat

Patent number: 6625255Abstract: A system in accordance With the principles of the present invention employs a loop field test to predict the data rate capability of at least one loop other than the one tested. A local telephone loop is selected for field testing that includes wideband noise testing and signal frequency testing. This reference loop is characterized in response to the results of the field tests and the characterization is used to predict the data handling capability of other similar loops. In an illustrative embodiment one loop Within each binder group terminated at a telephone office is selected as a reference loop and the data rate capability of the other loops Within the binder group are predicted, based on the characterization of the reference loop.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1999Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Lester L.
