         6 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the each segment includes a metal casing and core bundle wrapped with an aerogel material. 
     
     
         7 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein each segment includes a stress release system, each segment configured for 2600 pounds of longitudinal force. 
     
     
         8 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein each segment will re-broadcast a signal selected from the group consisting of UWB, WiFi and RF. 
     
     
         9 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the cable assembly has no vertical or horizontal constraints. 
     
     
         10 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein each segment will withstand temperatures in excess of current plenum and riser wiring standards. 
     
     
         11 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the junction box has plug-in circuit board. 
     
     
         12 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the junction box includes a raceway system to drop splice fiber optic channels for direct plug-in to one or more main circuit hoard media converters. 
     
     
         13 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the junction box includes a thermal cooling system operable with an on-board CPU to prevent overheating and failure. 
     
     
         14 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the junction box includes two DC output voltages of 5 Volt and 12 Volt operable with a UPS system deriving its power from an on board battery. 
     
     
         14 . The cable assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the junction box is controlled by a separate controller. 
     
     
         15 . A cable assembly comprising:
 one or more fixed length cable segments, each segment capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of current plenum and riser wiring standards, wherein each segment includes a high gauge metal casing and a core bundle wrapped with a heat resistant aerogel material   
     
     
         16 . The cable assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the core bundle includes one or more power conductors, one or more multi-mode fiber-optic data channels, a coaxial cable  40  and a high strength stress cable. 
     
     
         17 . A controller comprising:
 a transceiver;   an external SMA-type cable connected high gain   
     
     
         18 . The controller of  claim 17 , wherein the transceiver is capable of switching IEEE 802.15.4 to 802.15.3. 
     
     
         19 . The controller of  claim 17 , wherein the signals from the controller penetrate walls. 
     
     
         20 . The controller of  claim 17 , wherein the controller is operable with an antenna router device for transmitting signals to a wireless device.
