  • Method and apparatus for automatically upgrading passive optical networks (PONs)
    Patent number: 7609967
    Abstract: An apparatus automatically maintains bi-directional communication between an optical network unit (ONU) and a central office (CO) in a passive optical network (PON) when the CO changes from a first PON mode to a second PON mode. The apparatus senses a PON mode relating to downstream data flow from the CO to the ONU; and upon detecting a change in the PON mode from the first PON mode to the second PON mode, synchronizes the ONU to operate according to the downstream and upstream configurations of the second PON mode.

  • Optical network unit (ONU) circuit
    Publication number: 20070116466
    Abstract: An optical network unit (ONU) circuit that combines both analog and digital components is provided. The ONU circuit enhances the monitoring and diagnostic of the ONU optical interface, and thus improves the overall performance of the PON. Furthermore, the disclosed ONU circuit is integrated in a single chip and thus reduces the power consumption of an ONU system and the cost to manufacture.
