5G is the hottest topic today. With the issuance of 5G commercial licenses in China, 5G will also accelerate its development.

When we use the wireless network to chat, work, watch movies or play games, you may not realize that the various wireless nodes are actually connected to each other by a large number of fiber optic networks.

Today, as the wireless access points of 4G and 5G networks continue to expand, more and more fiber is required to meet the growing demands of these networks.

Why 5G is so important

Staying connected is an inevitable part of modern everyday life. People are used to making phone calls, sending emails or watching videos anytime, anywhere. In the future, human society will usher in a more advanced and high-speed network interconnection era, and everything may be far beyond our imagination. The industry's demand for concurrent and instantaneous connections will continue to climb.

5G network standards require advances in what consumers see as "enhanced mobile broadband," which transmits data at faster rates in densely populated areas. In addition, these standards require a large number of connection points to support the massive Internet of Things (IoT), in which everything from household appliances, automobiles, industrial equipment and more will be connected to the network. Certain services and applications will also rely on low latency and ultra-high reliability.

Compared with the previous mobile standards, the related requirements of the 5G standard are more important and the demand is higher. If the wireless network performance is poor, it will bring great inconvenience to the user, for example, it may take a long time to load an application successfully. In the future, the risk will become even higher. Just imagine a future where self-driving cars must try to avoid accidents while on the move; and when doctors remotely operate medical devices to perform life-saving surgeries, there's even less room for error.
