Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to wireless distribution systems (WDSs) employing an optical star communications architecture based on quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) transceivers. In one aspect, a selected QSFP CWDM transceiver among one or more QSFP CWDM transceivers wavelength multiplexes a plurality of downlink optical communications signals to generate a WDM downlink communications signal and provides WDM downlink communications signal to a selected remote unit branch among one or more remote unit branches in the WDS. In another aspect, the selected QSFP CWDM transceiver wavelength de-multiplexes a WDM uplink communications signal received from the selected remote unit branch into a plurality of uplink optical communications signals. By supporting an optical star communications architecture based on the selected QSFP CWDM transceiver, it may be possible to reduce total length of optical fibers in the WDS, thus leading to reduced optical fiber material and installation costs.
