INTRA-PREMISES WIRELESS BROADBAND SERVICE USING LUMPED AND DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS RADIATION FROM CABLE SOURCE INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface for receiving broadband signals and for transmitting RF frequency signals to a diplexer located within a premises via cabling, wherein the RF frequency signals are configured for distribution to signal radiation devices of the premises via the diplexer, and wherein the RF frequency signals are configured for being radiated by the signal radiation devices to at least one wireless device; and
a controller for generating packetized signals from the received broadband signals at a first frequency and for modulating the packetized signals at a second frequency, wherein the RF frequency signals comprise the modulated packetized signals at the second frequency.
