SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALING A WEATHER CONDITION
First Claim
1. A system for signaling a weather condition, the system comprising:
- an optical network terminal comprising;
a communication port adapted to be coupled to a fiber optic cable, the communication port further adapted to receive data that indicates a weather condition via the fiber optic cable;
an output unit, in communication with the communication port, adapted to send a signal in response to the communication port receiving the data that indicates the weather condition.
