摘要 |
<p>The present invention provides a hybrid communications network (100), in which a customer may be connected to a copper access network (200) or an optical fibre access network (300) by a network node (400). By providing power from a network terminal (600), a customer causes the node (400) to be connected to the optical fibre access network (300); if power is lost or the network terminal (600) disconnected then the node will connect to the copper access network (200).</p> |
