Abstract: A wireless internet access network includes one or more relay points each configured for wireless communication with at least one other relay point or a gateway, or both. One or more computer premise equipment (CPE) points are configured for wireless communication with at least one of the relay points or another CPE point, or both. The computer premise equipment points comprise wireless access points that are configured for wireless communication with one or more wireless network access devices. The wireless access points include a wireless communications protocol configured for permitting the wireless network access devices to thereby connect to the network and communicate with other devices.

Abstract: A compression-expandable plug provides lateral expansion of an elastomeric gasket to seal around mini-tubes within an optical fiber duct, the mini-tubes containing optical fibers. The compression-expandable plug includes an elastomeric gasket having longitudinal passages configured to be positioned around optical-fiber-containing mini-tubes in an optical fiber duct and means for longitudinally compressing the gasket thereby laterally expanding it to exert sealing pressure around the mini-tubes and between the mini-tubes and the duct. A means for limiting the longitudinal compression applied to the gasket to limit the sealing pressure to a level selected to limit damage to the optical fibers may be provided.
