Abstract

A communication system is provided for transmitting video, audio, and data content between two or more nodes of a communications network comprised party of twisted pair links. Also provided, is a telecommunication system for transmitting spectrum, comprising transmission bandwidths that carry signals such as, video, audio, data and other services, over twisted pairs of telephone wires. Such system being adapted for dynamic assignment and management of frequency bands of spectrum over twisted pair links.
