ABSTRACT:
A distributed, demand access local loop telephone system is disclosed. An optical fiber, or fibers, connect a central office and a plurality of remote units which are located near subscriber populations. Communications on the fiber is by high speed digital data stream which is comprised of a plurality of bit multiplexed PCM channels, each of bandwidth equivalent to a VF channel or greater. The remote units are connected to the subscriber equipment (e.g. telephones or other data sources/sinks) by subscriber dedicated links (e.g. wire pairs or other cabling), and the remote units may be added, subtracted, or moved along the fiber path to reconfigure the overall system. Because of the demand access nature, the fiber bandwidth can be dynamically redistributed among the remote access units at high speed and controlled at the central office. The topology of the system can also be reconfigured, within limits, from a central site. The system is T1 compatible, the data stream being the resultant of a plurality of T1 streams, and means is provided at the remote units for extracting and inserting one or more VF equivalent channels in any desired number up to and including an entire T 1 equivalent group.
