Edge communication system with cascaded repeater devices over wired medium

Abstract

A communication system includes a plurality of repeater devices, a first repeater device of the plurality of repeater devices obtains an mmWave radio frequency (RF) signal from a communication device, communicate, over a wired medium, the mmWave RF signal of a specified frequency to a second repeater device of the plurality of repeater devices. The second repeater device extracts a plurality of different RF signals, corresponding to different communication protocols, from the mmWave RF signal, wirelessly distribute at least two of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) signal, a wireless local area network (WLAN) signal, a citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) signal, a wireless personal area network (WPAN) signal, or a combination thereof to a plurality of end-user devices, and pack and transmit content received from the plurality of end-user devices upstream in the mmWave RF signal to the communication device via the first repeater device.
