Abstract:
1. A method of distributing broadband signals within a premises, comprising the steps of: packetizing incoming broadband signals at a first frequency into RF frequency signals; modulating the packetized RF frequency signals at a second frequency; and providing the packetized and modulated RF frequency signals to in-premises cabling for distribution to signal radiation devices located within the premises, wherein the in-premises cabling is connected to a set of diplexers, each Diplexer connected to one of the signal radiation devices, each of the signal radiation devices adapted for radiating RE frequency signals containing the broadband signals to wireless devices, wherein a cable modern converts input analog radio frequency signals carrying the broadband signals to digital signals of Ethernet compatible format, the digital signals having different address headers than Ethernet signals intended for wired distribution.
