Summary:
In the last years, FTTH (Fiber-to-the-home) networks became an excellent solution to deliver broadband internet access and TV services. A furthermore integration of IRUWB (Impulse-radio ultra-wideband) signals into GPON (Gigabit-Passive-Optical-Network) technology is analyzed, with opportunity to allow wireless distribution of high definition video over a future personal area network. It is concluded that by using the modulation of same 1550 nm wavelength, IR-UWB multicast signals can coexist with the CATV (Community Antenna Television) analog signals and an easy adaptation of GPON communication systems is necessary to support this extension.
