  • SEPARATELY MANAGED NETWORK ENTITY WITH VIRTUALIZED TRANSPORT FUNCTION
    Publication number: 20230066541
    Abstract: Implementations for remotely managing an optical transceiver connected to a network device and optical network is described. A user can use a network device controller and optical transceiver controller in a remote server to communicate with the service agent in the network device and the optical transceiver to configure communications with the optical network through the optical transceiver. The service agent and its controller in the server can perform virtualized transport functions and the network device controller and the network device can, in some instances, implement layer 2/3 demarc.

  • Optical network termination apparatus with shared components and passive optical network system comprising same
    Patent number: 7613395
    Abstract: A transmission system for a passive optical network comprises a shared optical transmission apparatus, a shared electrical interface apparatus and a plurality of transmission convergence termination units. The shared optical transmission apparatus is configured for being coupled to an optical line termination unit via an optical fiber. The shared electrical interface apparatus is coupled to the shared optical transmission apparatus. The plurality of transmission convergence termination units is coupled to the shared electrical interface apparatus. Each one of the transmission convergence termination units is configured for selectively controlling the shared electrical interface apparatus.
