Abstract

A data communications system including a passive optical network; an optical network termination unit connected to the network including a first optical receiver for voice and data on a 1480-1500 mm band to an end-user; an optical transmitter transmitting voice and data optical signals on a 1260-1360 mm band from the end-user, and a second optical receiver for receiving a digital video signal on a 1550 mm band from a video head-end service provider to the end-user; and a wireless RF communications transmitter coupled to at least the second optical receiver for wirelessly transferring the information content of the optical signal to an external device.
