Using On-Board Optics for Networking Technology Innovation

whitePaper | June 21, 2022

The telecoms industry is going through its most substantial shift since the introduction of IP networks in the 1990s. Function­specific network infrastructure is being replaced by software­based networks and the high bandwidth, low latency capabilities of 5G wireless and fixed fibre are enabling a vastly increased portfolio of services for communications service providers (CSPs).

The Heavy Reading 2020 5G Network & Service Strategies Operator Survey is designed to provide insight into how operators will scale 5G networks and identify the service strategies operators believe will drive investment and customer value. Developed in association with the report sponsors, the survey questionnaire was fielded to respondents in the Light Reading service provider database in January 2020. It was open only to employees of communications service providers (CSPs).

The C-band (or midband) is considered the “waterfront property” of RF spectrum for 5G. It offers the best compromise between RF coverage and RF bandwidth and Providers are investing heavily on C-band 5G deployment to deliver the coverage and capacity that 5G use cases need.

The 5G shakeup has already started in many markets. Service providers are actively considering how they can evolve from being primarily consumer – oriented providers of voice, text and data to become much more business – and enterprise-focussed, enabling a more diverse range of B2B2x services.

Wireless telecommunications technology has undergone a tremendous evolution in the last few decades, from making simple phone calls (1G) and sending text messages (2G), to connecting to highspeed internet (3G) and providing multimedia and entertainment services (4G). Futuristic technologies such as remote robotics and virtual reality are emerging quickly and are likely to see mass adoption, while 4G cellular networks have reached capacity limits and are incapable of supporting the uninterrupted operations of these services. It is estimated that data will reach 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025, up from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010, when 4G was first being deployed globally. 5G therefore provides a much-needed mobile bandwidth infrastructure for a world of connected objects and smarter cities.

Mobility is a fundamental necessity of our society. We need to move people and goods from one place to another for many different motivations. As a fundamental cornerstone of our way of life, mobility must be efficient, secure, inclusive, green, and smart. Smart in the sense that mobility must leverage the potential of digital technologies to achieve all the other goals. In this digitalization of mobility, connectivity emerges as a key element. Interconnecting all the elements involved in mobility and enabling the exchange of information is an extremely powerful tool towards this dual green and digital society of the future.
