Abstract
A broadband data interface and a broadband digital interface couples broadband systems to digital client systems. The broadband digital interface is coupled to the digital client systems to transfer data to and from the digital client systems. The broadband digital interface is owned and controlled by the digital client systems. The broadband data interface interfaces broadband systems to the broadband digital interface. The broadband data interface is customized for the particular broadband system such that the broadband data interface is owned and controlled by the operator of the broadband system. The broadband data interface contains a broadband receiver and network access control to permit the broadband system operator to implement access control for data transmitted from the broadband system to the clients. The broadband data interface further includes a broadband transmitter and broadband access control to transfer data from the broadband digital interface to the broadband system and to provide access control to the broadband system.
