Abstract
A hybrid network for in-building wireless (IBW) applications that provides a forward link path and a reverse link path, each on separate media. In particular, a hybrid cabling system for providing wireless coverage in a building comprises a forward link comprising at least one optical fiber to couple a first signal generated at an RF input bank with an RF antenna node, and a reverse link comprising coaxial cable, wherein a portion of the reverse link includes radiating coaxial cable configured to receive a second signal transmitted by a wireless user equipment in the building and pass the second signal to the RF input bank.
