1. A repeater system for providing wireless communications comprising:

  • a first antenna that receives first user information in a first wireless signal at a first frequency and transfers the first user information in a first electrical signal at the first frequency, a first frequency converter that receives the first user information in the first electrical signal at the first frequency and transfers the first user information in the first electrical signal at a second frequency, and a first coupler that receives the first user information in the first electrical signal at the second frequency and transfers the first user information in a first capacitive signal;

    a second coupler that receives the first user information in the first capacitive signal and transfers the first user information in a second electrical signal at the second frequency, a second frequency converter that receives the first user information in the second electrical signal at the second frequency and transfers the first user information in the second electrical signal at the first frequency, and a second antenna that receives the first user information in the second electrical signal at the first frequency and transfers the first user information in a second wireless signal at the first frequency;

    the first frequency converter further receives power and transfers the power in a first AC power signal, a third coupler that receives the power in the first AC power signal and transfers the power in an inductive power signal, the second frequency converter further receives the power in a second AC power signal, and a fourth coupler that receives the power in the inductive power signal and transfers the power in the second AC power signal;

    the second antenna further receives second user information in a third wireless signal at the first frequency and transmits the second user information in a third electrical signal at the first frequency, the second frequency converter further receives the second user information in the third electrical signal at the first frequency and transfers the second user information in the third electrical signal at the second frequency, and a fifth coupler that receives the second user information in the third electrical signal at the second frequency and transfers the second user information in a second capacitive signal;

    a sixth coupler that receives the second user information in the second capacitive signal at the second frequency and transfers the second user information in a fourth electrical signal at the second frequency, the first frequency converter further receives the second user information in the fourth electrical signal at the second frequency and transfers the second user information in the fourth electrical signal at the first frequency, and the first antenna further receives the second user information in the fourth electrical signal at the first frequency and transfers the second user information in a fourth wireless signal at the first frequency.
