Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining first data pertaining to an outage in a first portion of a communications system, obtaining second data pertaining to a relationship between the first portion of the communications system and a second portion of the communications system, analyzing the first data the second data to identify a risk to communication services facilitated by the second portion of the communications system, determining that the risk is greater than a threshold, and generating, based on the determining, a recommendation for reducing the risk. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system for transmitting infra-red (IR) signals through power lines. An IR signal may be received and substituted with a corresponding RF signal. The RF signal may be placed on a power line network in one location and removed by a high-pass filter at a second location. The RF signal may be converted back to the corresponding IR signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for transporting audio signals over conventional power lines within a building.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus that transmits the stereo and the surround sound information of the L-R signal without excessive attenuation at the higher frequencies in order to allow transmission of surround sound through a noisy medium. The apparatus includes a surround sound conditioner coupled to receive a L-R signal portion of the television signal for pre-emphasizing and companding the L-R signal to produce a conditioned L-R signal; a mixer coupled to the surround sound conditioner for switching the conditioned L-R signal at a predetermined value to produce an amplitude modulated L-R signal; and a synchronizing circuitry coupled to the mixer for maintaining the predetermined value in step with the reference value, wherein the mixed L-R signal is combined with a L+R signal portion of the television signal to produce a composite output signal.
