BI-DIRECTIONAL CUSTOMER PREMISES WIRING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention enables and facilitates the receipt by telephone company subscribers of high-speed digital telecommunications over twisted wire pair cabling historically installed and used for voice telephone service. In a preferred embodiment, the system of the present invention comprises a bidirectional transmission facility (600), a first diplexer (610) and a second diplexer (620); the first diplexer receives network signals and transmits them using the bidirectional transmission facility to the second diplexer; and the second diplexer receives distribution signals and transmits them using the bidirectional transmit facility to the first diplexer. In a preferred embodiment, the second diplexer transmits the network signals it receives to a gateway (200) for processing, and the distribution signals are the processed network signals received by the second diplexer and transmitted to the first diplexer for distribution to receiving devices (198).
