Abstract

See full text

The customer premise equipment of the invention consists of an OC-1, OC-3C or OC-12C receiver and an OC-1, OC-3C or OC-12C transmitter that interface with an ATM segmentation/reassembly circuit. In the downstream direction the segmentation/reassembly circuit receives the signals from the receiver and separates the signals into ATM cells. In the upstream direction the segmentation/reassembly circuit reassembles the ATM cells from the customer premise into a broadband signal and delivers the signal to the transmitter. The segmentation/reassembly circuit interfaces with a passive bus to deliver to and receive cells from a video decoder, POTS line card and a personal computer interface such that the customer can receive voice, data and video on a fiber to the home access architecture. A video system provides an ensemble of video channels at the customer premise.
