In this paper, we discuss how wireline and wireless photonic technologies can be used to support high bandwidth connections inside a home or office setting. We first present a set of requirements that photonic home networks must meet in order to provide a viable alternative. These requirements are somewhat different than what photonic technologies had to meet in long-haul and metropolitan area networks. We then discuss enabling technologies for the optical home network, including optical wireless, visible light communications and plastic optical fibers. We also present some basic home networking network architectures that take advantage of multiple technologies in order to provide inter and intra-room connectivity. Some concluding remarks are given and an outlook for optical home technologies is briefly outlined. |
