Method and communication node for broadband distribution
First Claim
1. A communication node of a distributed antenna system, the communication node comprising:
- a modem configured to receive first data streams from a source communication node of the distributed antenna system via a first plurality of twisted pair transmission lines;
a multiplexer configured to select a first subset of the first data streams and a second subset of the first data streams;
a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly transmit the first subset of the first data streams as radio frequency signals via an antenna to at least one device; and
a distribution subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), the DSLAM configured to transmit the second subset of the first data streams on a second plurality of twisted pair transmission lines to a destination communication node of the distributed antenna system.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a communication node having a modem that receives first data streams from a source communication node via a first plurality of twisted pair transmission lines. A multiplexer selects a first subset of the first data streams and a second subset of the first data streams. A wireless transceiver wirelessly transmits the first subset of the first data streams as radio frequency signals via an antenna to at least one device. A distribution point unit transmits the second subset of the first data streams on a second plurality of twisted pair transmission lines to a destination communication node of a distributed antenna system.
