  • Patent number: 8787223
    Abstract: A system and method for distributing signals from a first communications network and a second communications network to a location, including a base transceiver station configured to receive a signal from the first communications network and convert the signal into an RF signal for transmission to a mobile terminal, the RF signal having an RF frequency above a threshold frequency, and a coupling module configured to: receive the RF signal from the base transceiver station and receive a data signal from the second communications network, the data signal having an RF frequency below the threshold frequency; combine the RF signal and the data signal into a combined signal with the RF signal and data signal each retaining their respective frequencies; and provide the combined signal over a coaxial cable link to the location.

  • Publication number: 20140132477
    Abstract: A vertically interleaved in-building distributed antenna system is described. The in-building distributed antenna system includes a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) radio. The MIMO radio includes a first branch connector and a second branch connector. The in-building distributed antenna system further includes a first branch transport medium coupled to the first branch connector and a second branch transport medium coupled to the second branch connector. The in-building distributed antenna system further includes a plurality of antennas. The plurality of antennas includes one or more first branch antennas coupled to the first branch transport medium and one or more second branch antennas coupled to the second branch transport medium. The first branch antennas are vertically interleaved with the second branch antennas in the structure.
