  • Agile resource on demand service provisioning in software defined optical networks
    Patent number: 10219052
    Abstract: An embodiment method for managing connections on a communications network having an optical network portion includes receiving a request for a first connection at a controller in signal communication with one or more reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) controlling an optical network portion of a communications network, wherein the controller is connected to the communications network. The controller determines a route on the communications network for the first connection according to conditions of the communications network, with the route comprising one or more first links of the optical network. The controller determines one or more first ROADMs controlling the one or more first links and sends commands from the controller to the one or more first ROADMs to allocate bandwidth on the one or more first links.

  • Conditional access system switcher
    Patent number: 8813254
    Abstract: A system is configured to provide access between a plurality of terminals and a plurality of different conditional access systems (CASs) associated with the terminals. The system includes a CAS switcher configured to receive requests from the plurality of terminals and, for each of the requests, identifies and sends the requests to a corresponding CAS. The CAS switcher also receives messages from the CASs responsive to the requests and, for each of the messages, identifies and sends the message to a corresponding terminal.
