This paper introduces a new concept that allows operators to overcome the coverage barrier in offering bandwidth intensive services, specifically video distribution, throughout the home. It proposes using the in-home coax network as the backbone for the wireless home network with 802.11 a/b/g as the transmission protocol over the coax lines. By using the in-home coax network to increase the range and coverage of the wireless network, operators will be able to offer reliable video distribution, as well as other services, throughout the home with guaranteed high capacity coverage at every point in the home while enjoying all the advantages of 802.11b/a/g/e/i, including QoS, security and low cost.
