Patent ID: 7197205

Claim:
A method for providing high speed data services to a subscriber using an optical fiber, comprising: receiving first electrical signals, the first electrical signals being associated with telephony signals provided by a subscriber; receiving second electrical signals, the second electrical signals being associated with RF signals provided by the subscriber; combining the first and second electrical signals; generating a laser driver signal from the combined first and second electrical signals; generating a first optical signal in response to the laser driver signal; transmitting the first optical signal on an optical fiber over a first wavelength; receiving from the optical fiber a second optical signal carried over the first wavelength; converting the second optical signal to third electrical signals, the third electrical signals being associated with telephony signals provided to the subscriber; receiving from the optical fiber a third optical signal carried over a second wavelength; converting the third optical signal to fourth electrical signals, the fourth electrical signals being associated with RF signals provided to the subscriber.
