Abstract

A method and system for the reception, conversion and distribution of wireless signals over AC power lines (104) to one or more telephone communication devices (103) within a building, office or complex (100) is disclosed. This invention specifically provides for the reception of PCS, cellular and/or satellite communication signals, by receiving the wireless signal and providing an interface to standard generally available telephone equipment (103). By making use of the power line carrier channel, this invention provides for the reception of the wireless signals upon telephone equipment that is located in the building or complex (100) in locations remote from standard telephone wiring. Moreover, by distributing such received wireless signals over the power line (104) a number of telephone devices can be used to receive the distributed signals. This invention allows existing, or previously installed, telephones (103) to communicate over and with wireless communication devices and provides a way to distribute these signals using power line telephone distribution methods, without requiring a change in existing wired telephone equipment.
