We demonstrate that by applying cable modem technology in a 1550-nm EDFA-based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) system we can deliver broad-band data services along with analog and digital broadcast video. The data system shares 30-Mb/s downstream and 2.56-Mb/s upstream over 64 living units, while the broadcast video system provides 77 analog channels and /spl sim/1 Gb/s of digital video.
