Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus to deploy fiber optic based access networks are disclosed. An example access network comprises a first fiber optic cable segment to couple an optical access head-end to a first pedestal and to transport user data, a second fiber optic cable segment to couple the first pedestal to a second pedestal and to transport a first portion of the user data to the second pedestal, a drop cable segment to couple the first pedestal to a customer premises and to transport a second portion of the user data to the customer premises, and a switch at the first pedestal to route the first portion of the user data between the first and second fiber optic cable segments and to route the second portion of the user data between the first fiber optic cable segment and the drop cable segment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method to deploy a fiber optic based access network, the method comprising: installing a first fiber optic cable segment between an optical access head-end and a first pedestal associated with a first customer premises in response to receiving a request for a first communication service, the first fiber optic cable segment routed through a second pedestal geographically located between the optical access head-end and the first pedestal, the second pedestal…
