DATA COMMUNICATION OVER POWER LINES
First Claim
1. A system for receiving and processing signals received from a plurality of endpoints, each endpoint including an endpoint transmitter in electrical communication with a power distribution lines within a power distribution system, the system comprising:
- a power line coupler;
a substation receiver in electrical communication with the power line coupler; and
a substation circuit in electrical communication with the substation transceiver, the substation circuit configured to simultaneously demodulate signals received from the plurality of different endpoints.

Abstract
A system for receiving and processing signals received from a plurality of endpoints. Each endpoint includes an endpoint transmitter in electrical communication with a power distribution line within a power distribution system. The system comprises a power line coupler. A substation receiver is in electrical communication with the power line coupler. A substation circuit is in electrical communication with the substation transceiver. The substation circuit is configured to simultaneously demodulate signals received from the plurality of different endpoints.
