Abstract
An improved demarcation point system comprising a first improved demarcation point comprising a data input-output system, a power input system, and a processing unit. Said data input-output system comprises a network controller, a femtocell, and a Wi-Fi antenna. Said power input system receives a power supply for said first improved demarcation point. Said first improved demarcation point is installed at a first location. Said data input-output system receives and broadcasts a data signal to and from a first telephony network (also referred to as an upstream data signal) and to and from said first location (also referred to as a downstream data signal). Said processing unit comprises a data storage, a one or more processors, a one or more memory units, and a communication hardware. Said communication hardware communicates signals between said processing unit and both said data input-output system and said power input system.

48. An improved demarcation method comprising:
-
determining a wired network connected to a wired network interface of a first improved demarcation point has failed or is unavailable; wirelessly transmitting an upstream transmission from the first improved demarcation point to a second improved demarcation point; receiving the upstream transmission at a wireless network interface of the second improved demarcation point; transmitting the upstream transmission via the a wired network interface of the second improved demarcation point if the wired network connected to the wired network interface of the second improved demarcation point is available; and wirelessly transmitting the upstream transmission to a third improved demarcation point if a wired network connected to the wired network interface of the second improved demarcation point is not available. - View Dependent Claims (49)
