Latest Patents

Bourg is associated with 1 patent, titled “Fiber-wireless system and methods for simplified and flexible FTTX deployment and installation.” The invention describes receiving data from a passive optical network outside a building and wirelessly transmitting it indoors for use on the building’s network. The data originates from an optical line termination and may be delivered to an optical network terminal inside the building. Alternatively, it can be converted to Ethernet format and supplied to a user interface or gateway.

The system may use one transceiver mounted on an exterior surface and another mounted indoors. Potential mounting surfaces include corridors, windows, doors, walls, and building façades. This approach is intended to provide flexibility in bringing network service into buildings.
