The application describes a communication network comprising a transceiver (TRN2) arranged for passing on signals (SG), coming in via an incoming signal path (LN1), to an outgoing signal path (LN2). The transceiver (TRN2) is coupled by the incoming signal path (LN1) to a first neighbouring transceiver (TRN1) and by the outgoing signal path (LN2) to another neighbouring transceiver (TRN3). The transceiver (TRN2) comprises an amplifier (AMP2) for amplifying the signals (SG) to be passed on. Further it is coupled to a local power supply (LPS2). The communication network is arranged for supplying remote supply power (RPW1) via the incoming signal path (LN1) to the transceiver (TRN2). The transceiver (TRN2) comprises coupling means (CPL2), under normal circumstances arranged for supplying local supply power (LPW2) from the local power supply (LPS2) to the amplifier (AMP2) and, when the local power supply (LPS2) fails, arranged for supplying the remote supply power (RPW1) to the amplifier (AMP2). This has as a result that the communication between the two neighbouring transceivers (TRN1, TRN3) is not deteriorated by the failure of the local power supply (LPS2) of the transceiver (TRN2).00000 |
