Abstract
An apparatus comprising a first passive optical network (PON) component configured to couple to a second PON component via an optical link and authenticate the second PON component based on authentication information to authorize a backup wireless link between the first PON component and the second PON component. The backup wireless link corresponds to a wireless backup system for the PON. The authentication information is associated with an identifier of the wireless backup system. Also included is a network component comprising a first passive optical network (PON) component configured to receive authentication information for a wireless backup system for a PON from a second PON component and compare the authentication information to expected authentication information at the first PON component to authorize a wireless link between the first PON component and the second PON component for the wireless backup system.
