Patent ID: 8559818

Claim:
A system for delivering multiple passive optical network services comprising: a first optical transmission service comprising a common wavelength pair including a common upstream wavelength and a common downstream wavelength routed from a source to each of a plurality of subscribers; a second optical transmission service comprising a plurality of unique wavelength pairs including a unique upstream wavelength and a unique downstream wavelength, each of the unique wavelength pairs routed from the source to a subscriber among the plurality of subscribers without the unique downstream wavelength being routed to another subscriber among the plurality of subscribers; a wavelength division multiplexer configured to separate each of the unique wavelength pairs of the second optical transmission service onto separate optical fibers; and a splitter joining a fiber carrying the common wavelength pair with one of the fibers leading from the wavelength division multiplexer carrying one of the unique wavelength pairs to transmit the common wavelength pair and the unique wavelength pair to the subscriber on a single optical fiber, such that the first optical transmission service and the second optical transmission service are delivered to the subscriber on a single optical fiber.
