A premises, connected to receive broadband service(s) and also connected
to a cable system, is provided with a broadband interface which connects
to in-premises cabling which is coupled to consumer receivers such as a
television sets, PDAs, laptops. Connected to the broadband interface is
an adjunct device which channels broadband, data and voice signals
supplied to an in-premises wireless system as distinguished from the
signals supplied to the cable connected consumer receivers. The adjunct
device formats the broadband and voice signals or any broadband service
into packet format suitable for signal radiation and couples them to the
in-premises coax cabling, via a diplexer, at a first selected location.
At a second cable location a second diplexer, connected to the cable,
separates the broadband, data and voice signals and couples them to a
signal radiation device (i.e., an RF antenna or leaky coaxial cable)
which radiates the signal to the immediate surrounding location. Various
devices, near to the second cable location for specific services, receive
the wireless signals (i.e., broadband, data and voice) from the radiating
antenna.
