Title:
SYSTEM FOR DEPLOYING A BROADBAND DATA NETWORK USING AN EXISTING ELECTRICAL WIRING INFRASTRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/111380
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for deploying a broadband data network using an existing electrical wiring infrastructure is disclosed. In one application, an Internet of Things (IoT) device that requires or uses internet connectivity, for a network hardware connectivity system using an existing electrical wiring infrastructure comprising a plurality of electrical outlets, is disclosed. The IoT device comprises an embedded Ethernet over Power (EoP) transceiver module within the IoT device, with the embedded EoP transceiver module within the IoT device converting a hitherto wireless IoT device, requiring wireless internet connectivity, into a wired IoT device that does not require a SIM card. The IoT device is arranged to act as either a master network router wired device or a slave wired device connected to one of the electrical outlets within the existing electrical wiring infrastructure, the embedded EoP transceiver module, in use, being connectable to a dual function power/data adaptor or module, that supplies power to the device and filters the transmitted or received EoP data to or from the electrical wiring infrastructure respectively.
