1. A network for data communication, comprising: two or more trunk line segments configured for disposition on or in a building, wherein the two or more trunk line segments are configured to communicatively couple by a circuitry with one or more devices, wherein:
the coupling is configured (i) to deliver one or more signals to, and/or (ii) to receive one or more signals from, the one or more devices at a data transmission rate of at least about one half (0.5) gigabit per second,
the coupling is further configured to facilitate tapping of a portion of data signals transmitted by the two or more trunk line segments, wherein the one or more signals delivered to the one or more devices include power signals combined with the data signals tapped,
a remaining portion of the data signals that are not tapped are transmitted by the two or more trunk line segments to other devices operatively coupled to the two or more trunk line segments, and
signals received from the one or more devices are transmitted through the two or more trunk line segments to a system configured to determine building operations parameters based, at least in part, on the one or more signals received from the one or more devices, wherein the building operations parameters comprise one or more parameters controllable by one or more building systems comprising at least one of: an HVAC system, a lighting system, or a security system.
