Title:
ACCESS POINTS IN A DAISY- CHAIN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/016062
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Serially-distributed access points in a communication network include a cable (208) including network communication wires (324), a plurality of access points (202) connected in series with the network communication wires along a length of the cable, and a headend interface (200) connected at one end of the cable and operable to provide a communication interface with the access points. Low-cost access point chipsets are used to build an enterprise-class communication network by embedding many low-cost, consumer grade access point chipsets into a single cable. The distance between the chipsets is small enough so as to create many microcells.
