Methods and apparatuses to provide an Open access service model using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) passive optical networks (PONs) are described. A cross-connect is used to supply a first set of optical signals corresponding to a first service provider and a second set of optical signals corresponding to a second service provider to a WDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. The WDM multiplexer/de-multiplexer is used to multiplex and transmit the first set and the second set to a remote location. Another WDM multiplexer/de-multiplexer at the remote location is used to de-multiplex the first set and the second set. The first set may be supplied to a first user and the second set may be supplied to a second user. Transceivers coupled to the cross-connect may be used to generate the optical signals. For one embodiment, the transceivers include a wavelength-locked light source. For one embodiment, the transceivers are alike. |
