An optical-electrical interface device for coupling to an optical distribution network is provided which comprises: a housing, an optical fiber port for coupling to a single optical fiber, an optical network terminal unit connected to the optical fiber port, a power sourcing management unit configured to manage the power supply of the optical network, network terminal unit, a plurality of electrical ports and a plurality of electrical cables each connected to the power sourcing management unit and to one of the electrical ports. The electrical ports are accessible and/or arranged outside the housing, wherein the optical-electrical interface device is configured to reverse-feed electrical power, from external electrical module devices connected to the electrical ports, for operating the optical network terminal unit which is arranged inside the housing. The power sourcing management unit is configured to calculate and/or control shares of electrical power received and/or to be received via the electrical cables from external electrical module devices, dependent on the number of external electrical module devices connected to one, some or all of the electrical ports.

Optical electrical interface device, electrical module device and system for coupling to an optical distribution network

A method and system implementations thereof include receiving data from a passive optical network (PON) outside a building; wirelessly transmitting the received PON data to inside the building; and applying the received PON data to a network inside the building. The data received outside the building is from an optical line termination (OLT). The PON data wireless transmitted inside the building may be applied to an optical line terminal (ONT) inside the building. Alternatively, the wirelessly received PON data may be converted to Ethernet format and applied to a user interface and/or a gateway interface all inside the building. The wireless transmission of PON data may be via a first transceiver mounted on a surface outside the building and a second transceiver mounted on a surface inside the building. The surface may be a corridor, a window, a door, a walls and a fa&#xe7;ade.
