  • Patent number: 11823818
    Abstract: A power and data connectivity micro grid includes a first power sourcing equipment device having first and second power ports and first and second data ports, and configured to deliver DC power signals to the first and second power ports. The micro grid further includes first and second remote distribution nodes, and first and second splice enclosures, each splice enclosure having a power input port, a data input port, a power tap port, a data tap port, a power output port and a data output port. A first composite power-data cable is coupled between the first power port and the first data port of the first power sourcing equipment device and the power input port and the data input port of the first splice enclosure. A second composite power-data cable is coupled between the second power port and the second data port of the first power sourcing equipment device and the power input port and the data input port of the second splice enclosure.

  • Patent number: 11249267
    Abstract: A wireless network includes connections stations (110, 120, 140) disposed along a distribution cable (101) that carries optical signals and power. Each connection station (110, 120, 140) has a port (115) at which the optical signals and power of the cable (101) are provided. A wireless module (150, 160, 170) can be mounted at a connection station (110) so that a connection arrangement of the wireless module (150, 160, 170) plugs into the port. The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can obtain power from the distribution cable (101) via the connection station (110, 120, 140). The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can broadcast the signals carried by the distribution cable (101) to the surrounding area.
