In-house seamless and transparent internet on the move through cordless access to FTTH

Abstract

The recent proliferation of modern portable devices and applications demands to deploy in-house high-speed Internet on the move. Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless with its inherent multi-Gb/s capacities is seen as an alternative to fiber-tothe-home (FTTH) that has benchmarked the access of future Internet through fiber. This paper investigates a suitable approach to interface FTTH with mm-waves that enables inhouse transparent and seamless access to Internet on the move through cordless access to FTTH. In such case, in addition to fixed point access, in-house optical network unit (ONU) establishes mm-wave cordless communications without any translation of FTTH data or modulation format.

40-GHz ROF downlink system with SFP modules

“…Differently, at the RAU, the high‐speed PD heterodynes the two wavelengths generating the desired mm‐wave signal with a frequency of 2f that carries the Gbps data, and also together with a replica of original baseband Gbps data. Method to separate these signals is well investigated in . Therefore, the proposed system is capable to serve the existing FTTH users that subscribe wired service via ONU, whereas at the same time capable to provide Gbps wireless service to other demanding subscribers via the RAU.…”
