  • System and methods of integrating an overlay wireless data network canopy into a high bandwidth FTTX (fiber-to-the premises / curb / neighborhood) network
    Patent number: 7831250
    Abstract: An approach to integrate a wireless data network canopy into the high-capacity fixed FttX (Fiber-to-the-Premises/Curb/Neighborhood) network at intersection points throughout the overlay rather than interconnecting them as two disparate networks in order to provide a plurality of data containing video, audio, voice communications, broadcast radio programming, and data both fixed and mobile. This approach is applicable to active networks. Considerations must still be made for security.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2010

  • System and methods of integrating an overlay wireless data network blanket into a high bandwidth FTTX (fiber-to-the-premises/curb/neighborhood) network
    Patent number: 7623858
    Abstract: An approach to integrate a wireless data network blanket into the high-capacity fixed FttX (Fiber-to-the-Premises/Curb/Neighborhood) network at intersection points throughout the overlay rather than interconnecting them as two disparate networks in order to provide a plurality of data containing video, audio, voice communications, broadcast radio programming, and data both fixed and mobile. This approach is applicable to PON (Passive Optical Networks) and active networks alike, though the implementations vary slightly. Considerations must still be made for security.
