Abstract

The method is for providing broadband access into a dwelling (144). A radio base station (134) is provided that is in connection with a power-line communication (PLC) gateway (138). The radio base station (134) transmits an information signal (137) to the PLC gateway (138). The PLC gateway (138) receives the signal and transmits the information signal (137) via power-line 136 to an inside of the dwelling (144).

Claims

1. A method for providing broadband access, comprising:

providing a wireless transmitting or transmitting and receiving entity in connection with one or more copper wire gateway or adapter for communication over a copper wiring;

the copper wiring comprising power lines, twisted pair wires, or coaxial cables;

the wireless transmitter or transceiver entity transmitting an information signal wirelessly to a fixed wireless router (FWR), the FWR forwarding the information signal to the copper wire gateway or adapter;

the copper wire gateway or adapter receiving the information signal and transmitting the information signal via a copper-wiring to a CPE or a modem, or directly to a device to be connected via an outlet or other end-point at an inside of a dwelling;

connecting the CPE or the modem to an operation and management system (O&

M);

the CPE or the modem identifying end-users;

the CPE or modem regulating a data service based on a subscription type; and

the O&

M controlling and monitoring the connectivity nodes FWR, the copper wire gateway or Adaptor, the CPE, the modem.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises the PLC gateway transmitting the signal to a PLC repeater.

3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the method further comprises the PLC repeater transmitting the signal to customer premise equipment via an electric outlet disposed inside the dwelling.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises connecting the FWR to a coaxial copper wiring gateway or adapter.

5. The method according to claim 4 wherein the method further comprises connecting the FWR to a twisted pair copper wiring gateway.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises connecting the FWR to a power line copper wiring gateway.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises positioning an electrical plug at one end of a power cord into the outlet connecting another end of the power cord into a PLC modem between a computer or tablet.

8. The method according to claim 7 wherein the method further comprises connecting the PLC modem to appliances.

9. The method according to claim 7 wherein the method further comprises connecting the PLC modem to vehicles.
