A system and method is provided to extend transmission range of a digital subscriber line (DSL). In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input signal including a broadband data signal having a first signal strength and a telecommunication signal. The broadband data signal may be separated from the telecommunication signal. The broadband data corresponding to the broadband data signal may be regenerated, wherein the regenerated broadband data signal has a second signal strength which is greater than the first signal strength according to an embodiment of the invention. According to another aspect of the invention, the regenerated broadband data signal may be merged with the telecommunication signal into an output signal and the output signal may be transmitted over a subscriber line.

System and method for extending DSL transmission range

A system for establishing a universal or overlapping wireless broadband network composed of a plurality of Access Points (AP). These APs may be coupled to existing copper transmission lines, and may work alone or in groups to provide wireless network access. Different types of APs may be utilized to perform various communication-functions, and these nodes may obtain power and/or communication resources from the existing copper transmission lines. Further, peripheral devices may be coupled to nodes to provide ancillary functionality to the system.

Wireless access point network system supported through existing transmission lines

A system for establishing a universal or overlapping wireless broadband network composed of a plurality of Access Points (AP). These APs, or nodes, may be coupled to existing copper transmission lines, and may work alone or in groups to provide wireless network access. Different types of APs may be utilized to perform various communication-functions, and these nodes may obtain power and/or communication resources from the existing copper transmission lines, and communication resources from either the existing copper transmission lines or from fiber optic transmission lines. Further, peripheral devices may be coupled to nodes to provide ancillary functionality to the system.

A conferencing device and method among terminals in a distributed digital telephone switching system is provided. The telephone switching system has a plurality of switching elements for interconnecting telephone units and telephone lines via communication links. A duplex path is set between each party in the conference and a designated bridge port. The speech from all the parties in the conference is summed and at the bridge port the sum is sent back to all engaged in the conference. As each party receives the sum, it subtracts its own speech data and therefore obtains the speech data from the other parties in the conference.

Conferencing system for distributed switching network

A communication switching system with distributed control processing is provided. The system includes a digital switching network having a modular array of intelligent digital switching elements each having processors and memory to set up communication paths for voice and data between the terminal module processors such as line cards and telephone units. Each addressable location in the system is assigned a logical address code (LAC). When a route is requested, a switch element processor interprets the destination LAC and selects a route through the switch toward the destination with each switch element in the communication path setting a route toward that destination. The switching network provides duplex paths for flexible communication. With such a duplex path speech is directed from a first terminal unit such as a telephone station and a second terminal unit such as a line card into a bridge port which sums the speech data from the two sources. The summed speech is then sent from the bridge port to the terminal units.

Distributed control switching network for multi-line telephone

The broadcast system of the switching network provides for the broadcast or multicast of interface switch status broadcasts and interface switch event broadcasts. An interface switch feature processor initiates a broadcast message made up of two bytes of data on a first channel, with particular command codes to identify the type of data contained within the broadcast message, paired with another two bytes of data in the same frame on a second channel. Broadcast messages are sent into the switching network in a non-broadcast manner until they reach the fold point of the switch network. From the fold point the broadcast messages are broadcast on every available broadcast channel directed out of the switch network towards the interface switches.

Broadcast system for distributed switching network

A virtual private line key telephone system is provided. The system includes a console including a plurality of line keys each associated with a party that can be reached via a switched trunk line. A look-up table means associates the line keys with the telephone numbers of the associated parties. A communication path is established from the console to one of the trunk lines. Signals are sent to the central office via the selected trunk line corresponding to the telephone number in the look-up table means associated with a line key that is actuated to place a calls. The telephone number of incoming calls are determined and compared with telephone numbers in the look-up table. Thereafter the line keys which are associated with the incoming calls are determined. The incoming call is coupled to the console when a line key associated with the incoming caller is actuated.
