Abstract

Signal repeater system of the general type that facilitates using various standards and various modulation types to improve properties with various infrastructure, in particular power grid systems.

Claims

1. Signal repeater system for power grids with one or more main cables that have distribution cables for consumers, comprising:

a signal repeater system on each main cable facilitating PHY and protocol for full duplex communication comprising nodes in distribution points along said main cable

where at least one of said nodes are facilitating at least one modem for said duplex communication

wherein said modem has an interface facilitating connection to secondary communication devices at said nodes.

2. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein at least one of said nodes to be forward coupled to a consumer distribution line through an IP interface and a spread spectrum PHY using half duplex.

3. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein communication on said main cables are to use cable modem technology along the main cables including to and from said node points.

4. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein capacity on said main cables is scalable.

5. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein capacity on said distribution lines is scalable.

6. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein client unit to be built into electricity meter.

7. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein client unit is to be combined with fuse panel.

8. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein client unit to be installed by client outside of fuse panel.

9. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein bandwidth capacity at said node points to be made available as redundant data capacity for any purpose.

10. The signal repeater system according to claim 1,

wherein coupling to said main cables and said distribution lines are to be made using a matching device and coupler which is installed closest to and adjacent to cable using compact clamps separated from high frequency discontinuity and using signal cable for further signal coupling and using built in indicator lamp to indicate proper coupling to said main cable or said distribution cable.
