Providing TDM channels to locations connected by networks implemented on broadcast medium

Providing TDM channels to locations connected by networks implemented on broadcast medium. An (sender) interface equipment receives data bits of frames from a TDM node, forms data packets from the data bits, and sends the data packets on a broadcast network to a receiver interface equipment. The receiver interface equipment receives the data packets, generates frames for transmission to another TDM end node, and transmits the frames to the another TDM end node. The clock signal of the broadcast network may be used as a reference signal to provide a clock signal having an equal frequency to the clock signal used by the sender interface equipment to receive data on TDM channels.
