Abstract

An optical network can include a data service hub (110), a laser transceiver node (120), and a subscriber optical interface (140). The data service hub can comprise a satellite antenna (375) and a RF receiver (380) for receiving satellite TV-band electrical signals. These electrical signals can be converted into the optical domain and then propagated over the optical network through optical waveguides to the subscriber optical interface. The subscriber optical interface (140) can comprise an optical filter (565) and a satellite analog optical receiver (570). The optical filter (565) can separate the satellite TV-band optical signals having a first optical wavelength from other optical signals such as cable TV-band optical signals with a second optical wavelength and data optical signals with a third optical wavelength. The satellite analog optical receiver can further comprise various mechanisms for controlling access to the satellite TV-band signals.
