Title: Frank J. Effenberger and Intelligent Fiber-to-the-Room Networking.

Introduction

Frank J. Effenberger is an inventor based in Frisco, Texas, whose work includes optical networking technology. His listed patent addresses how a gateway can coordinate traffic between an access passive optical network (PON) and a home PON.

Latest Patents

Effenberger is credited with 1 patent: “Intelligent Fiber to the Room (FTTR) Gateway.” The invention describes a method performed by an optical network unit (ONU) gateway that connects an access PON with a home PON and reroutes in-home traffic data back to the home network.

The gateway receives a downstream optical signal from an optical line terminal (OLT), containing access traffic intended for the gateway as well as traffic intended for other destinations. It also receives an upstream signal from an ONU in the home PON, containing in-home traffic and upstream access data. The gateway then creates a composite downstream signal that combines the intended access traffic with the in-home traffic data and transmits it to all ONUs in the home PON.

Career Highlights

Effenberger is associated with Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. His listed patent reflects work on integrating access-network and in-home optical-network traffic through gateway-based signal processing.
