Abstract
The network comprises a plurality of optical line terminals which communicate with a plurality of optical network units over an optical distribution network. The optical distribution network includes a plurality of optical filters controlled by a network controller. A first optical line terminal sends a request for optical communication with at least one optical network unit to the network controller. The request is sent over the optical distribution network and indicates an operating wavelength of the first optical line terminal and of the at least one optical network unit. The network controller configures at least two of the optical filters to allow a passing through of the operating wavelength or of a further operating wavelength. The optical communication between the first optical line terminal and the at least one optical network unit in the operating or in the further operating wavelength is established through the optical filters.
