摘要:
An XDSL signal distribution system is provided having a regenerator unit located a predetermined distance from a central office XTU unit for extending the distribution reach of the system. The regenerator is arranged to decode the payload of transmitted XDSL signals into base digital data before repackaging and regeneration onto a twisted pair copper cable. This allows the regenerator to selectively reformat the XDSL signals into a desired protocol format suitable for either an ATM protocol layer, or direct transmission. In addition, the regenerator can retransmit the XDSL signals at a fixed or variable transmission rate to optimize data through-put or system reach.

A method and system for providing telephony services utilizes an emulated telephony channel within an allocated portion of digital subscriber line bandwidth. The digital subscriber line connects to a packet switched network, and embodiments of the present invention derive telephony services over the digital subscriber line by utilizing a portion of the available bandwidth to emulate one or more telephony channels.

An xDSL signal distribution system is provided having a DSL translator unit located between a central office XTU unit and a customer location for allowing equipment of multiple types of DSL signal format to be used within the same distribution system. The translator unit is arranged to decode the payload of transmitted signals of one type of DSL format into base digital data. The translator unit then performs line code conversion to a second desired type of DSL code format. In addition, the translator unit employs buffering to allow transmission of the converted xDSL signals at a transmission rate suitable for the type of coding.

Certain embodiments of the invention provide network interface devices, as well as systems and methods for using them. For instance, in accordance with some embodiments, a network interface device can comprise an isolation device, which can be configured to isolate an internal transport medium from an external transport medium, such that operational changes to the internal transport medium do not affect the external transport medium, and operational changes to the external transport medium do not affect the internal transport medium.
摘要:
A system and method for collecting, integrating, and distributing video, data, and telephony signals in a fiber optic communications network for transmission along a twisted copper pair to a customer location. The video, data, and telephony signals are received by a digital subscriber loop access multiplexer and are superimposed onto the twisted copper pair using a service area interface. The system and method enables a customer to receive video, data, and telephony communication data along a single twisted copper pair at relatively high data transfer rates. Additionally, since portions of the existing communication infrastructure are used the cost of implementation is reduced.

Broadband communication systems and methods of the type utilizing xDSL packet-based technologies are configured to provide packet-based point-to-multipoint communication between an upstream xDSL modem and a plurality of downstream xDSL modems. The system preferably includes a twisted pair connecting the upstream xDSL modem to the plurality of downstream xDSL modems, with each downstream xDSL modem being in communication with a corresponding tap along the twisted pair.
摘要:
A system and method for providing broadband data service to a user site utilizes a plurality of well-known virtual paths between the host digital terminal and the network interface. The host digital terminal connects to a network that is connected to a plurality of data service providers. The plurality of well-known virtual paths allow several data service providers to share a single physical drop.

A method for providing the communication of information services between customer premises equipment (CPE) at a customer's premises and a source of the information services includes providing a demarcation device at the customer's premises. The demarcation device defines an interface between an external transport medium that is substantially external to the customer's premises and an internal transport medium that is substantially internal to the customer's premises. The method also includes establishing a virtual private network (VPN) between the demarcation device and the source of information services and establishing a virtual local area network (VLAN) between the demarcation device and the CPE.
