Fiber optic communication system
First Claim
1. A system for data transmission over an optical network, the system comprising:
- a service collection unit including a collection module for collecting a plurality of services data to be transmitted;
a processing module for processing the services in their original protocols into packets; and
a packet transmission module for converting the services into optical signals on an optical fiber for transmission into a metro network; and
an aggregator, coupled for upstream and downstream optical communication to a plurality of said service collection units, and including;
a sorting module for sorting the services from a plurality of packets according to service type; and
