Edge communication system with cascaded repeater devices over wired medium

Abstract

A communication system includes a plurality of repeater devices arranged at a plurality of different locations and are communicatively coupled over wired mediums. A first repeater device of the plurality of repeater devices obtains mmWave radio frequency (RF) and communicates, over a wired medium, the mmWave RF signal of the specified frequency to a second repeater device. The second repeater device extracts a plurality of different RF signals, corresponding to different communication protocols, from the mmWave RF signal and down-converts the extracted plurality of different RF signals. The second repeater device wirelessly distributes, from the mmWave RF signal, two or more different RF signals to end-user devices, packs content received from the end-user devices, and transmits upstream in the mmWave RF signal to the communication device via the first repeater device.
