Abstract :
The state-of-the-art of lightwave subscriber loop systems is reviewed. An approach is described for deriving an architecture for subscriber loop systems that can accommodate technological trends in broadband ISDN such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and synchronous digital networks. Key component technology is discussed, namely, optical fibers and cables, splicing and connectors, and switching
