Optical Cable Connection Box Bypasses Pole Rights Delay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The lengthy process of obtaining rights to use communication poles for fiber optic network deployment delays the initial network construction and prolongs fiber optic network deployment.
Innovation Solution
An optical cable connection box with adapters that allows indirect connection of optical cables using optical fibers, enabling temporary connection without requiring immediate pole usage, thus allowing network deployment to continue without waiting for pole rights, and can be easily replaced with a fiber access terminal once rights are obtained.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fiber access terminal is installed on communication pole, then network deployment is completed, but obtaining pole usage rights delays deployment time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an optical cable connection box as an intermediary device that temporarily replaces the fiber access terminal. This connection box enables optical cables to be connected and network services to be provided without requiring immediate installation on the communication pole, thus bypassing the pole usage rights approval process while maintaining network functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary network deployment by installing the optical cable connection box before obtaining pole usage rights. The optical cables are connected and network services are activated in advance using the connection box, allowing the network to be deployed preliminarily without waiting for the formal pole installation process.
2Productivity
If fiber access terminal is installed on communication pole, then network deployment is completed, but the process is prolonged due to pole rights approval
Solution Approach 1:
The optical cable connection box serves as a mediator that decouples the network deployment process from the pole usage rights approval process. It allows network operators to complete cable connections and activate services using the connection box as a temporary endpoint, thereby improving deployment efficiency by eliminating the sequential dependency on pole rights approval.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables preliminary network deployment by installing and configuring the optical cable connection box before pole rights are obtained. This preliminary action allows the network to become operational in advance, significantly reducing the overall deployment period by performing installation activities parallel to or before the pole rights approval process.
