System and method for distributing voice and data information over wireless and wireline networks
First Claim
1. An information distribution system for distributing a greater bandwidth data signal and a lesser bandwidth signal multiplexed onto a communications trunk, the system comprising:
- a wireline distribution network of the customer premises having integral wires for distributing the greater bandwidth data signal within the customer premises;
a wireless distribution system serving the customer premises and communicating the lesser bandwidth signal over an electromagnetic signal; and
a frequency selective splitter in communication with the wireline distribution network and the wireless distribution system, the frequency selective splitter being tuned to separate the greater bandwidth data signal for distribution over the wireline network and the lesser bandwidth signal distribution over the wireless distribution system before the lesser bandwidth signal is carried by the wireline distribution network within the customer premises.

Abstract
A method and device for distributing both high-speed data service, such as digital computer, video and multimedia data, and lower speed data service, such as POTS voice telephone signals, throughout a customer premises. High-speed digital data and lower speed POTS voice signals are separated by a POTS splitter and distributed throughout the customer premises on separate distribution networks. The lower speed POTS is carried on a wireless distribution network and the high-speed data carried on the existing customer premises wiring ordinarily used for POTS.

22. An information distribution system for distributing high-speed data and lower speed data within a customer premises comprising:
-
a wireline distribution network within the customer premises having wires for distributing high-speed data within the customer premises, the wireline distribution network, comprising; a modem for interfacing a digital subscriber line to provide high-speed data; and a routing switch for distributing the high-speed data to a plurality of computer peripherals; a wireless distribution system within the customer premises system distributing lower speed data within the customer premises, the wireless distribution system comprising; a wireless controller in communication with the splitter to transmit the lower speed data; and a receiver in communication with the base controller to receive the lower speed data transmitted by the wireless controller; and a splitter in communication with the wireline distribution network and the wireless distribution network, wherein the splitter separates high-speed data for distribution over the wireline network and lower speed data for distribution over the wireless distribution system.
