  • Systems and methods for using drones for determining line-of-sight conditions in wireless networks
    Patent number: 10404369
    Abstract: Systems and methods for: suggesting network topologies for a wireless communication network such as a millimeter-wave network; using drones for determining a line-of-sight condition between pairs of geospatial locations where communication nodes in the network are to be placed; and wirelessly interconnecting pairs of nodes in the network according to the a line-of-sight conditions previously determined using the drones. The drones may test for a line-of-sight condition using any number of methods, including laser range-finding, signaling between two of the drones, and pattern matching of visual imagery. A network planning tool may be used to suggest the network topologies, communicate and control the drones, and come to a final conclusion regarding the actual network topology selected, the placement of the communication nodes, and the specific wireless links to be used in interconnecting the nodes in the final network.

  • Optical line terminal and method that store the identity numbers of a number of optical network terminals that are associated with a single network end point
    Patent number: 7274881
    Abstract: The memory of the optical line terminal (OLT) of a broadband passive optical network (BPON) is increased to store, in addition to an active identity number, such as the serial number, of the current optical network terminal (ONT) connected to a network end point, a standby identity number, such as the serial number, of a replacement optical network terminal (ONT) when upgrades are requested by the end users, or partial or total failures are reported by the end users.
