OPTICAL BROADBAND TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to an optical broadband transmission device and distribution method, particularly suitable for multimedia networking in multi-occupancy apartment blocks. An optical fibre (101) is provided as central element connecting a first optical transceiver (102) with a second optical transceiver (103). Data streams between a supply node (104) and a user node (105) can be transmitted by means of said device. According to the above method the transmission rate is typically 100Mbs, whilst a conventional electrical transmission line can achieve only a maximum of 10 Mbs with the same transmission distance (500 to 1000 m).
