20090268898 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING AN AUTOMATIC CROSS CONNECT SYSTEM AT A REMOTE WIRING HUB - A method and apparatus for configuring connectivity at a hub having a plurality of subscriber lines from a plurality of subscriber premises and a plurality of feeder lines from a central office. The hub provides connectivity between the plurality of subscriber premises and the central office. The method and apparatus include categorizing the plurality of subscriber lines into a plurality of groups based on penetration rates and chum rates of the plurality subscriber lines. Each group of subscriber lines are connected to feeder lines based on the penetration and chum rates for POTS and/or DSL services. Subscriber line groups with high penetration rates and high/low chum rates are coupled directly to feeder lines. Subscriber line groups with low penetration rates and high/low chum rates are terminated at the hub. Subscriber lines with an intermediate penetration rate are candidates for being connected to the feeder lines via an automatic switch. | 10-29-2009 |

379307000 | With power supply | 1 |
20110064212 | POWER BACKUP SYSTEM - An electrically powered node of a telecommunications system has a battery power backup associated with its power control unit. Under normal conditions it is maintained fully charged by means of trickle currents from the mains power feeds to each of a number of mains—connected customer equipments, by way of the “final drop” to the distribution point. These trickle currents are controlled by the respective power control units to prevent overcharging. Using an electrical copper connection provided in parallel with the fibre connection, a battery backup can also be maintained in nodes further towards the exchange. The feeds are reversible, so that if a power outage removes the power supply from the customer premises, a “lifeline” plain telephone service between the exchange and the telephone handset is maintained using the local battery backup in the remote nodes. By limiting the service to simple telephony, the battery power can be sufficient to maintain the service for a reasonable duration. The power management systems can be used to transfer charge from one battery to another over the network according to the usage, or remaining life, of each battery. | 03-17-2011 |
