Optical Networking Opportunities in 5G Wireless Networks 2017-2026 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Optical Networking Opportunities in 5G Wireless Networks: 2017-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

5th Generation wireless systems (5G) are what's next in the personal mobile communications space and they will eventually replace the currently ubiquitous 4G systems. The key characteristics of 5G is higher capacity and lower latency which will (1) support a higher density of mobile users as well as provide (2) a comprehensive infrastructure for IoT and M2M communications.

While access to 5G networks will, by definition, be wireless, much of the rest of the infrastructure will use fiber optics. As the researcher sees it, 5G will create considerable new opportunities for the optical networking industry going forward in the 5G infrastructure; both backhaul and fronthaul.

However, while optical links have been widely used in the mobile telephony industry for many years, revenue generation from optical networking in the 5G space will require carefully thought through strategies by the optical networking industry as a whole.
