Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) Methods and Systems

摘要

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing FTTx, which might include Fiber-to-the-Home (“FTTH”), Fiber-to-the-Building (“FTTB”), Fiber-to-the-Premises (“FTTP”), and/or the like. In some embodiments, a method might include routing an F1 line(s) from a central office or DSLAM to a fiber distribution hub (“FDH”) located within a block or neighborhood of customer premises, via at least an apical conduit source slot. From the FDH, an F2 line(s) might be routed, via any combination of apical conduit main slot(s), cross slot(s), far-side slot(s), missile bore(s), bore hole(s), and/or conduit(s) (collectively, “Apical Conduit Components”), to a network access point (“NAP”) servicing one or more customer premises. An F3 line(s) might be distributed, at the NAP and from the F2 line(s), to a network interface device (“NID”) or optical network terminal (“ONT”) at each customer premises, via any combination of the Apical Conduit Components, which include channels in at least portions of roadways.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
placing one or more first lines in one or more first channels in a first ground surface; placing one or more second lines in one or more second channels in a second ground surface; placing a filler material in at least one of at least a portion of the one or more first channels or at least a portion of the one or more second channels; placing a container of a signal distribution device in a third ground surface, a top portion of the container being one of substantially level with a top portion of the third ground surface or below the top portion of the third ground surface; and communicatively coupling the one or more first lines with the one or more second lines via a cable distribution device disposed within the signal distribution device.
