ABSTRACT:
The invention is a photonic home area network for interfacing an external communications data network with a plurality of buildings, residential or commercial, in a neighborhood. The external communications network has a plurality of user data bandwidth segments with at least television programming data, audio programming data and telephony service data provided to the network. The photonic home area network has a photonic multiaccess channel, a head-end communications circuit, a plurality of set-top box circuits, and an executable program for demultiplexing and distributing the data segments in the set-top box circuits and acquiring user data for incorporation into a subsequent multiplexed signal.
