1. A communication network comprising:
- a first communication node configured to communicate using a first wideband frequency range;
a second communication node configured to communicate using a second wideband frequency range separate from the first wideband frequency range; and
a third communication node configured to simultaneously and independently receive communication from the first communication node over a power line using the first wideband frequency range and from the second communication node over the power line using the second wideband frequency range, wherein the first wideband frequency range includes higher frequencies than the second wideband frequency range, and the third communication node is further configured to communicate with the first communication node over the power line without sending signals through a junction box, and to communicate with the second communication node by sending signals through the junction box.

Abstract
Systems and methods for communicating over a power line are configured to substantially simultaneously communicate over a plurality of wideband frequency ranges. Signals may be communicated two or from a communication node at two different frequencies simultaneously. These signals may be exchanged with different nodes and/or include independent data. In some embodiments, some of the wideband frequency ranges are above 30 MHz.
