To reduce the complexity, size and power dissipation associated with the deployment of xDSL-type modems in distribution points (140-142) of a telecommunications network, a transparent concentrating optical transmission scheme is interposed between an exchange (100) and a subscriber terminal (210). Specifically, xDSL-type modems (102-104 and 220-224) are employed both within the exchange (100) and, nominally each subscriber terminal, (102) of the telecommunication system while an optical fibre supports the, transmission of frequency division multiplexed broadband signals sent between the exchange (100) and the distribution points (140-142). Twisted-pairs then couple respective broadband …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 4, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 4, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 4, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
