  • Switchable fiber termination
    Patent number: 8233792
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are provided for a switchable fiber termination (SFT) incorporated into an optical network device that responds to a test signal received via an optical network carrying data. The test signal may be a part of a multiplexed signal carrying data and is separated from the data by a wavelength division multiplexer. The SFT may be used to determine the characteristics of an optical network, including the operational status of optical network devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2012
    Assignees: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc., Inlight Telecom Inc.

  • T1 digital communications system for in-service detection and identification of malfunctioning repeaters
    Patent number: 5191595
    Abstract: An improvement to T1 digital communications systems uses the alternate mark inversion (AMI) encoding format, typically used in T1 systems, and the D.C. system that powers the repeaters for enabling quick and accurate in-service detection and identification of malfunctioning or failed repeaters.
