ABSTRACT:
A communication network comprises a transceiver arranged for passing on signals, coming in via an incoming signal path, to an outgoing signal path. The transceiver is coupled by the incoming signal path to a first neighboring transceiver and by the outgoing signal path to another neighboring transceiver. The transceiver comprises an amplifier for amplifying the signals to be passed on. The transceiver is also coupled to a local power supply. The communication network is arranged for supplying remote supply power via the incoming signal path to the transceiver. The transceiver further comprises a coupling device which under normal circumstances is arranged for supplying local supply power from the local power supply to the amplifier and, when the local power supply fails, is arranged for supplying the remote supply power to the amplifier. As a result, the communication between the two neighboring transceivers is not deteriorated by a failure of the local power supply of the transceiver.
