Abstract: A repeating installation includes transmission speed detection units which detect respective transmission speeds of a plurality of transmission lines connected to a plurality of communication apparatuses, a transmission speed determination unit which determines the slowest transmission speed among the detected transmission speeds of respective transmission lines as a reference transmission speed, a transmission speed adjusting unit which adjusts a transmission speed of a transmission line, whose detected transmission speed is faster than the reference transmission speed, so as to become a speed equal to or slower than the reference transmission speed, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a TV terminal embedded communication apparatus, which has a shape compliant with predetermined existing standard dimensions of a type of TV terminal set on a wall surface, including a TV antenna terminal connectable to a TV antenna terminal of an existing TV terminal connected to a coaxial cable connected to a TV antenna, a communication connector terminal, a coaxial communication processing function section connected to the TV antenna terminal and having a coaxial communication function, a connector communication processing function section connected to the communication connector terminal and having a communication connector communication processing function and a data transfer function section that transfers data between the coaxial communication processing function section and the connector communication processing function section, and can construct a high-speed home network without removing the existing TV antenna terminal.

Abstract: A communication system includes communication devices; a switch device having coaxial terminal units to which the communication device are connected, a switch unit of entirely or individually connecting the coaxial terminal units, and a switch control unit of controlling the connection status of the switch unit; and a transmittal right control device. The transmittal right control device is connected to the terminal, and manages the connection status of the switch unit, receives from the communication devices requests for time for communication with other communication devices, determines assignment of time for communications between the communication devices, notifies the communication devices of the assignment, and instructs the switch control unit not to make signals interfere among the communication devices in different combinations for communications in the same time period.

Abstract: If trouble or the like occurs in a central device or repeater in an Internet system, and the device becomes unable to operate normally, a link between each terminal and the central device may become invalid, and communication between terminals may become impossible.
