MULTI-BAND WIFI, CELLULAR AND CATV UPSTREAM SERVICE OVER CATV NETWORK

摘要

A system for carrying multi-band WiFi, cellular, and CATV signals over a CATV network includes an integrated up/down converter at active points in the CATV network, a PINDU at each respective user site, and an integrated cellular/WLAN/CATV site. The PINDUs and the integrated site perform up/down conversion of the WiFi and cellular signals according to a frequency allocation plan so that the WiFi and cellular signals are carried in a band above the CATV programming when on the CATV cable system. The up/down converters at the active points in the CATV network allow the converted WiFi and cellular signals to pass over the active points.
