Abstract
Node apparatus and methods for providing high-bandwidth, low-latency data service over a content delivery network including existing wireline infrastructure. In one embodiment, a network architecture having service delivery over at least portions of extant hybrid fiber coax (HFC) infrastructure is disclosed, which includes a node that enables standards-compliant ultra-low latency and high data rate services (e.g., 3GPP and IEEE Std. 802.11 services). In one variant, an expanded frequency band (e.g., 1.6 GHz in total bandwidth) is used over the coaxial portions of the HFC infrastructure, which is allocated to two or more sub-bands via 802.11ax protocols. The node is used in various network architectures configured to support different use cases such as for providing a small cell service, a distributed antenna system (DAS) at an enterprise premises or a venue, and a redundancy capability of data communication.
