1. A method for extending the range of an RF communication system using a high voltage (HV) cable and neutral cable as the transmission channel, where the HV cable is simultaneously carrying low-frequency current, the method comprising the steps of:

  • transmitting over the transmission channel, an RF signal from a central location downstream towards a remote location;

    splitting the HV cable into an upstream RF segment and a downstream RF segment where the segments are RF isolated and low-frequency connected;

    receiving the RF signal from the upstream RF segment at a first port of a reconditioner;

    directing a reconditioned RF signal from a second port of the reconditioning device to the downstream RF segment of the HV cable.
