Cascaded Distribution Point Unit Architecture for an Adaptive Network Access System

A system comprising:

• a first distribution point unit comprising:
• a first backhaul interface coupled to an access network via a backhaul connection;
• a first distribution interface coupled to a downstream distribution point unit;
• one or more first drop cable interfaces coupled to at least one first customer premises via at least one first drop cable;
• a first reverse power section;
• a first processor;
• a first non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable by the first processor to:
• establish, via the at least one first drop cable, a first G.now connection to the at least one first customer premises;
• receive, via the first backhaul interface, data associated with one or more services from the access network;
• determine whether the one or more services should be provided to the at least one first customer premises;
• in response to determining that the one or more services are to be provided to the at least one first customer premises, transmit the data associated with the one or more services to the at least one first customer premises over the first G.now connection;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more services are not associated with the at least one first customer premises, transmit, via the first distribution interface, the data associated with the one or more services to the downstream distribution point unit;
• a second distribution point unit communicatively coupled to the first distribution point unit, the second distribution point unit comprising:
• a second backhaul interface coupled to the first distribution interface of the first distribution point unit;
• a second distribution interface configured to be coupled to a subsequent downstream distribution point unit;
• one or more second drop cable interfaces coupled to at least one second customer premises via at least one second drop cable;
• a second reverse power section;
• a second processor;
• a second non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
• establish, via the at least one second drop cable, a second G.now connection to the at least one second customer premises;
• receive, via the first backhaul interface, data associated with one or more services from the first distribution point unit;
• determine whether the one or more services should be provided to the at least one second customer premises;
• in response to determining that the one or more services are to be provided to the at least one second customer premises, transmit the data associated with the one or more services to the at least one second customer premises over the second G.now connection;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more services are not associated with the at least one second customer premises, transmit, via the second distribution interface, the data associated with the one or more services to the subsequent downstream distribution point unit.
