Abstract
A network for wireless transmission of a media data in a building includes a plurality of access points. A first access point receives the media data from a source and transmits the media data downstream at a first data rate. A plurality of additional access points is distributed about the building, each of which includes an upstream transceiver to receive the media content on a first channel and a downstream transceiver to re-transmit the media content at substantially the first data rate on a second channel. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

55. A wireless local area network (WLAN) comprising:
-
a plurality of repeaters, each repeater having an upstream transceiver coupled to a downstream transceiver, the upstream and downstream transceivers operating in a first frequency band, the upstream transceiver being operable to receive data on a first channel, and the downstream transceiver being operable to transmit data on a different channel to a next repeater, at least one repeater of the plurality of repeaters including an additional transceiver operating in a second frequency band;
at least one destination device operable to receive data in the second frequency band;
a source device that transmits data to the at least one destination device across a chain of the repeaters that includes the at least one repeater. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)

62. A wireless network comprising:
-
a source device that transmits data on a first frequency channel;
a plurality of repeaters arranged in a tree topology, each of the repeaters having an upstream transceiver to receive the data, a downstream transmitter to send the data across the wireless network, and an additional transceiver, the upstream and downstream transceivers operating on different frequency channels in a first frequency band, the additional transceiver operating to transmit and receive data in a second frequency band; and
a destination device that receives the data. - View Dependent Claims (63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72)
