  • Architecture to communicate with standard hybrid fiber coaxial RF signals over a passive optical network (HFC PON)
    Patent number: 8958694
    Abstract: One or more overlay wavelengths are applied to a GPON architecture to provide sufficient, cost-effective forward bandwidth per home for targeted, unique narrowcast services to allow traditional HFC operators to use a PON architecture with their existing HFC equipment. A separate return path capability using a separate coaxial cable with RF signals to the GPON may also be used. This return capability may be provided either by a fiber optic link or coaxial link from the home.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2015
    Assignee: General Instrument Corporation
    Inventors: Philip Miguelez, Shawn M. Esser, Fred Slowik
