Abstract

Systems and methods for providing broadband communication are provided. An optical fiber node may be coupled to a source component. The optical fiber node may receive, from the source component, a downstream light signal via at least one input optical fiber, and transmit the downstream light signal to a plurality of output optical fibers. A tap device may be coupled to the optical fiber node via at least on optical fiber. The tap device may receive the downstream light signal via the at least one output optical fiber, convert the downstream light signal into a radio frequency downstream signal, and transmit the radio frequency downstream signal to a plurality of cable lines. The plurality of cable lines may be coupled to one or more customer premises.
