 at least one group of coils, each said group of coils comprising a plurality of coils, said coils inducing HPNA signals therebetween;    a plurality of filters, each of said filters coupled with a respective one of said coils and further coupled, via respective telephone wiring, with at least a respective HPNA node,    wherein each of said filters enables transmission of HPNA data signals therethrough, and    wherein each of said filters prevents transmission of conventional telephony signals therethrough.    
   
   
       2 . The analog HPNA hub according to  claim 1 , wherein at least two of said filters are each further coupled with at least one telephony device, via said respective telephone wiring.  
   
   
       3 . (canceled)  
   
   
       4 . The analog HPNA hub according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said filters is further coupled with an external telephone line.  
   
   
       5 . The analog HPNA hub according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said filters is further coupled with a telephony exchange system via said respective telephone wiring.  
   
   
       6 . The analog HPNA hub according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said coils is directly coupled with at least another respective HPNA node, via respective wiring.  
   
   
       7 . (canceled)  
   
   
       8 . The analog HPNA hub according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said filters comprises at least one capacitor.  
   
   
       9 . (canceled)  
   
   
       10 . HPNA network, the network comprising: 
 at least one analog HPNA hub: and    at least one group of HPNA nodes, each said at least one group being associated with a respective one of said at least one analog HPNA hub,    wherein each said at least one analog HPNA hub includes: 
 a plurality of coils, for inducing HPNA signals therebetween, and  
 a plurality of filters, each of said filters being coupled with a respective one of said coils and further coupled, via respective telephone wiring, with at least an HPNA node in said respective group,  
 wherein each of said filters enables transmission of HPNA data signals therethrough, and  
 wherein each of said filters prevents transmission of conventional telephony signals therethrough.  
   
   
   
       11 . The HPNA network according to  claim 10 , wherein for at least one of said analog HPNA hubs, at least two of said filters are each further coupled with at least one telephony device, via said respective telephone wiring.  
   
   
       12 . The HPNA network according to  claim 10 , wherein for at least one of said analog HPNA hubs, at least one of said filters is further coupled with a telephony exchange system, via said respective telephone wiring.  
   
   
       13 . The HPNA network according to  claim 10 , wherein for at least one of said analog HPNA hubs, at least one of said filters is further coupled with an external telephone line.  
   
   
       14 . The HPNA network according to  claim 10 , wherein for at least one of said analog HPNA hubs, at least one of said coils is directly coupled with at least another HPNA node in said respective group.
