A method and system for communication within an energy-transmission-limited environment.
RF transceivers throughout the site are located site-wide such that areas within
the site in which communications are desired are within range of at least one of
the RF transceivers. At each location RF transceivers are connected to a control
unit. The control unit provides power to the transceivers and allows bi-directional
communication of audio/voice and/or digital information. The control units may
be networked to each other using standard network type category-5 or equivalent
cables and may communicate to one another via the network connection. The control
units may also be networked via an alternating current powerline by using an alternating
current modem. The transceiver of the present invention utilizes single sideband
modulators to modulate voice and/or digital signals. The signals are demodulated
and filtered at a receiving end of the transceiver. A comb filter attenuates noisy
signals with drifting harmonics.
