Abstract:
1. A communication network system, comprising: a meter configured to read a usage data and able to forward the usage data via a serial communication interface; a meter network manager (“MNM”), having a converter able to convert between optical signal and electrical signal, coupled to the meter via a line cable between the serial communication interface of the meter and a serial interface of the MNM, the converter of MNM converts the usage data from electrical signals to optical signals; and an optical line terminal (“OLT”) based device coupled to the MNM via at least a fiber and configured to handle optical signals from the MNM via an optical communication network, wherein the converter of MNM is capable of organizing an output of a load measurement in accordance with ONT management control interface (“OMCI”) protocol and sending the output to the OLT base device.
