Abstract: A wireless network includes connections stations (110, 120, 140) disposed along a distribution cable (101) that carries optical signals and power. Each connection station (110, 120, 140) has a port (115) at which the optical signals and power of the cable (101) are provided. A wireless module (150, 160, 170) can be mounted at a connection station (110) so that a connection arrangement of the wireless module (150, 160, 170) plugs into the port. The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can obtain power from the distribution cable (101) via the connection station (110, 120, 140). The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can broadcast the signals carried by the distribution cable (101) to the surrounding area.
