Patent ID: 7433361

Claim:
A method of wirelessly communicating information from a bidirectional high speed data cable modem via an Ethernet connection using a first radio transceiver at a first location and communicating with a second radio transceiver at a customer's premises, the method comprising the steps of: a. attaching a housing containing a bidirectional high speed data modem with a first radio transceiver, a first radio processor card, and a switching power supply directly to a supporting cable strand using a mounting bracket, wherein the supporting cable strand simultaneously supports a coaxial cable carrying an RF spectrum signal and an AC power signal; b. using a splitter to engage the coaxial cable and split the RF spectrum signal from the AC power signal; c. transmitting the RF spectrum signal from the splitter into the bidirectional high speed data modem and the AC power signal to the switching power supply; d. generating a digital Ethernet signal from the bidirectional high speed data modem to the first radio processor card; e. converting the AC power signal to DC power with the switching power supply and stepping down the voltage with the switching power supply; f. using the DC power from the switching power supply to run the bidirectional high speed data modem, the first radio transceiver, the first radio processor card, and at least one heating or cooling device adapted to heat or cool the contents of the housing; g. communicating the digital Ethernet signal from the first radio processor card to the first radio transceiver and then to a first antenna; h. beaming the digital Ethernet signal from the first antenna to a second antenna; and i. communicating the digital Ethernet signal from the second antenna to a second radio transceiver, then to a second radio processor card, and then to a client device.
