The HFC connection network 120 is a technology of using a cable TV signal transmission line that is already installed as a scheme of the connection network configuration. In more detail, the main trunk part of the coaxial cable broadcasting network (CATV) transmission network is an improved fiber optic cable, and the optical fiber cable from the CATV broadcasting station to the subscriber optical network termination unit (ONU) is used, and from the ONU to the subscriber terminal, the coaxial cable is used. It is a configuration method using. A cable modem is installed at both ends of the subscriber to provide high speed data access service. The characteristics of this method are as follows. First, it is a mixed network using optical cable and coaxial cable, and it is possible to configure a cell with the next higher bandwidth after optical cable, and channel allocation is also flexible. Second, long distance transmission is possible using an amplifier, and unlike ADSL, it has little effect on transmission speed and quality according to distance.

The repeater module 133 of the repeater 130 may include a receiver 134, a data acquirer 135, a codec unit 136, a storage 137, and a data transmitter 138.

The receiver 134 may receive a wired signal, an internet signal, a communication signal, and an image signal transmitted from the cable broadcasting, the Internet, and the mobile communication management centers 110, 113, and 115 and the photographing means 140. In this case, the receiver 134 may perform signal processing such as path synthesis, leaf reamer, filtering, and delay of each received signal.

The data acquisition unit 135 may digitally demodulate the wired signal, the Internet signal, the communication signal, and the image signal received through the receiver 134 to obtain wired data, the Internet data, the communication data, and the image data. That is, analog wired signals, internet signals, communication signals, and video signals can be converted into digital wired data, internet data, communication data, and image data for acquisition.

The codec unit 136 may compress / restore wired data, Internet data, communication data, and image data acquired from the data acquisition unit 135. At this time, data compression refers to a technique for efficiently recording data in less storage space, or the practical application of the technique. It consists of an encoding process that converts the data into a smaller size, and a decoding process of reloading the stored data and restoring the original data. The ratio of the data size before encoding to the data size after encoding is called the compression rate. Depending on the type of compression technique, lossless compression and higher compression can be achieved that can be decoded as is without changing the content of the data, but lossy compression exists at the expense of some of the details of the decoded data. Typical lossless compression algorithms include repetition length coding and Huffman coding. Since the lossy compression algorithm increases the compression rate by using the characteristics of the human sense organs in reverse, different algorithms may be used according to the type of data such as voice, still picture, and video. As such, the repeater 130 compresses / restores the image information received from the photographing means 140 and provides the cable information to the cable broadcasting, the Internet, and the mobile communication management centers 110, 113, and 115, thereby providing the cable broadcasting signal quality, internet speed, and mobile communication quality. The service can be provided without degradation.

The storage unit 137 may store wired data, internet data, communication data, and image data compressed / restored from the codec unit 136. In addition, the data transmission unit 138 may transmit the wired data, the Internet data, the communication data, and the image data stored in the storage unit 137 to the cable broadcasting, the Internet, and the mobile communication management centers 110, 113, and 115. As such, the repeater 130 provides the image information transmitted from the photographing means 140 to the cable broadcasting, the Internet, and the mobile communication management centers 110, 113, and 115 so that the user can provide the TV, the computer, and the mobile communication terminals 160, 163, and 165 in real time. You can check the video information around the repeater.

Meanwhile, an access point (AP) 150 may be further provided at one side of the repeater 130. In this case, the access point 150 is a radio wave device for wirelessly connecting the terminals.

The photographing means 140 may be provided at one side of the repeater 130 to acquire the image information around the repeater 130 in real time and transmit the image information to the repeater 130. In this case, the photographing means 140 may be an infrared surveillance camera having an infrared sensor capable of clearly obtaining image information even in a dark place, and may be a rotating camera capable of bending and rotating in all directions.

The photographing means 140 may include a control module 143 for acquiring and controlling image information around the repeater 130. The control module 143 may include an image acquisition unit 144 and an image transmission unit 145. The image acquisition unit 144 may acquire image information around the repeater 130. The image transmitter 145 may transmit image information acquired from the image acquirer 144 to the repeater 130. As such, it is possible to provide a security and monitoring service near the repeater 130 through the photographing means 140, the workplace can also be used as anti-theft and A / S management of the repeater 130 and in the building premises From the user's point of view, it can be used for parking lot monitoring, house monitoring, infants and children, the elderly and the like.
