Power supply with integrated MoCA and power over ethernet (PoE)

1. An apparatus comprising:

an input port for receiving an input voltage from an external source;

a first converter for converting the input voltage to a first DC voltage;

a second converter for converting the input voltage to a second DC voltage;

one or more ethernet ports for supplying, at least in part, the first DC voltage;

at least one multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) ports for supplying, at least in part, the second DC voltage;

an outdoor satellite antenna incorporating an IPRadio; and

an interfacility link (IFL) cable having a first end connected to one of the at least one MoCA ports and a second end connected to the IPRadio,

wherein the IFL cable supplies the second DC voltage to the IPRadio and supplies data to/from the IPRadio, and

wherein the first DC voltage is lower than the second DC voltage.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first DC voltage ranges from 5V-12V; and

the second DC voltage ranges from 24V-48V.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a network device configured for establishing wireless communication links with user equipment and managing access to one or more networks by the user equipment via the wireless communication links; and

an ethernet cable having a first end connected to the one or more ethernet ports and a second end connected to the network device,

wherein the ethernet cable supplies the first DC voltage to the network device using a power over ethernet (PoE) standard, and

wherein the ethernet cable supplies data to/from the network device.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first DC voltage is supplied in accordance with one of Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 PoE standard.

5. A system comprising:

a satellite terminal configured, at least in part, to facilitate communication by one or more user equipment via a satellite, the satellite terminal comprising:

an indoor unit positioned at an indoor location, and

a satellite antenna unit positioned at an outdoor location, the satellite antenna unit incorporating an IPRadio;

a power supply unit disposed within the indoor unit, the power supply unit comprising:

an input port for receiving an input voltage from an external source,

a first converter for converting the input voltage to a first DC voltage, and

a second converter for converting the input voltage to a second DC voltage;

at least one ethernet port disposed in the indoor unit for supplying, at least in part, the first DC voltage to an indoor source;

one or more multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) ports disposed in the indoor unit for supplying, at least in part, the second DC voltage to the satellite antenna unit; and

an interfacility link (IFL) cable for connecting the indoor unit to the satellite antenna unit via one of the one or more MoCA ports,

wherein the IFL cable supplies the second DC voltage to the IPRadio and supplies data to/from the IPRadio, and

wherein the at least one ethernet port and the one or more MoCA ports are accessible from a panel of the indoor unit.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the first DC voltage is lower than the second DC voltage.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein:

the first DC voltage ranges from 5V-12V; and

the second DC voltage ranges from 24V-48V.

8. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

one or more network devices configured provide a wired and/or wireless communication link between the one or more user equipment and the indoor unit; and

an ethernet cable for connecting each of the one or more network devices to one of the at least one ethernet port of the indoor unit,

wherein the ethernet cable supplies the first DC voltage to the one or more network devices using a PoE standard, and

wherein the ethernet cable supplies data between the one or more network devices and the indoor unit.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second DC voltage is supplied in accordance with Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, or Type 4 PoE standard.
