Abstract

An optical transmission system includes a plurality of service provider systems providing transmission-based services; a plurality of end-user devices receiving transmission-based services and a central hub node including a first plurality of terminals for supporting bi-directional transmission of optical signals between the plurality of service provider systems and the central hub node and a second plurality of terminals for supporting bi-directional transmission of optical signals between the end-user devices and the central hub node. The system further includes a first transmission network coupled between the plurality of service provider systems and the plurality of first terminals of the central hub node for enabling the bi-directional transmission of optical signals between the plurality of service provider systems and the plurality of first terminals of the central hub node and a second transmission network coupled between the plurality of end-user devices and the plurality of second terminals of the central hub node for enabling the bi-directional transmission of optical signals between the plurality of end-user devices and the plurality of first terminals of the central hub node. The bidirectional optical transmission between each of the plurality of end-user devices and the central hub node occurs at a dedicated wavelength that is unique to each end-user device.
