Patent ID: 8514787

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a coupling box communicatively coupled to a satellite dish and a cellular antenna, the coupling box receives a satellite signal from the satellite dish and a cellular communication signal from the cellular antenna; the coupling box multiplexes both the satellite signal and the cellular communication signal to generate a multiplexed signal comprising both the satellite signal and the cellular communication signal; the coupling box amplifies the multiplexed signal; the coupling box transmits the multiplexed signal comprising the satellite signal and the cellular communication signal to a set top box; the coupling box receives, from the set top box, a return set top box multiplexed signal comprising a return satellite signal and a return cellular communication signal; and the coupling box decouples the return set top box multiplexed signal into a decoupled signal separated into the return satellite signal and the return cellular communication signal for separate transmission over the satellite dish and the cellular antenna.
