1. A telecommunications method comprising the steps of:
- providing an ADSL signal on a twisted pair channel medium;
providing at least one RF subcarrier on the twisted pair channel medium for a POTS signal to enable the flow of high information rate content;
providing the ADSL signal with a frequency range; and
providing the at least one RF subcarrier for the POTS signal with a frequency greater than the ADSL signal frequency range.

Abstract
A bidirectional telephony (POTS or ISDN) system utilizes RF technology to move the signalling away from the baseband frequency. The method translates baseband telephony signalling into one or more RF signals over twisted pair copper channels, in conjunction with an ADSL or VDSL signal on the same medium.
