Power-line communications |
摘要 |
Methods, systems, and products bridge wireless data transmissions with power-line communications. Should a failure occur in alternating current power, a backup battery maintains the power-line communications. Direct current battery power is used to power a wireless transceiver, thus maintaining both wireless data transmissions and communication during power failures. |

1. A method, comprising:
receiving ,by a wireless transceiver, messages sent from an alarm controller associated with a security system, the messages modulated onto direct current electrical power conveyed along electrical wiring; energizing, by the wireless transceiver, a bi-modal modem with direct current battery power supplied by an internal backup battery, the bi-modal modem operative using both alternating current electrical power and the direct current battery power; demodulating, by the wireless transceiver, the messages from the direct current electrical power; and wirelessly transmitting, by the wireless transceiver, the messages via a cellular network. |
