Abstract:
An optical fiber-based cable is formed to include pre-manufactured wireless access nodes included at spaced-apart locations along a length of the optical fiber cable. Each wireless access node is formed to include an antenna, a wireless radio transceiver, and an optical transceiver. The cable is formed to include an optical transmission fiber (or fibers) and an electrical power conductor. The optical fiber(s) couples to the optical transceiver within each wireless access node, and a power conductor from the cable terminates at the node and is used to energize both the wireless transceiver and the optical transceiver. The antenna is preferably formed as a sheathing member around at least a portion of components forming the node. Upon deployment, the wireless node portion of the cable is able to provide communication between the cable and wireless devices in its vicinity.

Claim (Index 28):
The fiber-to-the-wireless node communication system as defined in  claim 27 , wherein the communication system further comprises\n a second optical fiber communication cable coupled to the first optical fiber communication cable, the second optical fiber communication cable comprising\n at least one optical fiber disposed in an axial direction along a signal path for supporting bidirectional optical communication with the optical communications and power node; \n at least one electrical power conductors disposed in the axial direction along the signal path and receiving electrical power from the optical communications and power node; and \n a plurality of embedded wireless access nodes disposed at predetermined locations along the signal path based upon a spacing of the plurality of wireless communication locations, each embedded wireless access node comprising\n at least one RF antenna; \n a wireless radio transceiver powered by the at least one electrical power conductor and coupled to the at least one RE antenna, the wireless radio transceiver providing bidirectional communication with wireless devices within range of the RF antenna and converting communications between radio signals and electrical signals; and \n an optical transceiver powered by the at least one electrical power conductor and coupled to the at least one optical fiber, the optical transceiver providing bidirectional communication with the wireless radio transceiver and converting communications between electrical signals and optical signals, with converted optical signals coupled onto the at least one optical fiber.
