Abstract
A method for initiating, via a telecommunications network, a communication or connectivity service between a first location and a second location based on optical data transmission of a user-defined optical signal includes: in a first step, an optical initialization signal is fed or input to an optical data transmission fiber; in a second step, the optical initialization signal is received by an optical safety and policy entity or functionality of the telecommunications network, and an identity of the optical initialization signal is determined by the optical safety and policy entity or functionality; and in a third step, dependent on the determined identity of the optical initialization signal, the communication or connectivity service between the first location and the second location is activated.
