Abstract: A system for establishing a universal or overlapping wireless broadband network composed of a plurality of Access Points (AP). These APs may be coupled to existing copper transmission lines, and may work alone or in groups to provide wireless network access. Different types of APs may be utilized to perform various communication-functions, and these nodes may obtain power and/or communication resources from the existing copper transmission lines. Further, peripheral devices may be coupled to nodes to provide ancillary functionality to the system.

Abstract: A solid-state electronic switching system is disclosed. The switching system may be used to provide re-arrangeable analog electrical cross connections between telephone lines from a telephone company's central office and telephone lines that lead to subscribers' homes. The central office may reallocate services, without dispatching a technician, by issuing re-arrangement commands that reconfigure the analog electrical cross connections in the switching system. The switching system has been designed so that it may be used to interconnect telephone lines on which analog telephone services are provided.
