Residential gateway
First Claim
1. A residential gateway, comprising:
- a connector interface to receive a composite signal comprising voice data, video data, and network data via one or more communication lines;
a network interface;
a power coupling device to receive power from at least one of the one or more communication lines, the at least one communication line powered by a source that is remote from the residential gateway;
a voice module to receive the voice data from the composite signal and to route the voice data to a voice-enabled device coupled to the network interface;
a video module to receive the video data from the composite signal and to route the video data to a video-enabled device coupled to the network interface;
a network module to receive the network data from the composite signal and to route the network data to a computing device coupled to the network interface; and
a testing module to communicate test results to an external device via a data communication interface,wherein at least one of the voice module, the video module, the network module, and the testing module is powered using the power received from the at least one communication line by the power coupling device.

Abstract
A particular residential gateway includes a connector interface to receive a composite signal including voice data, video data, and network data via one or more communication lines and a power coupling device to receive power via the one or more communication lines. The residential gateway includes a voice module to route the voice data to a voice-enabled device coupled to a network interface, a video module to route the video data to a video-enabled device coupled to the network interface, and a network module to route the network data to a computing device coupled to the network interface. The residential gateway further includes a testing module to communicate test results to an external device via a data communication interface. At least one of the voice module, the video module, the network module, and the testing module is powered using the power received by the power coupling device.
