5G Fronthaul and Backhaul Fiber Optic Transmission Solution

5G performance goals challenge the communications industry, with specific demands resulting from use of the millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequency spectrum for both handsets and infrastructure. Designs need several system architecture changes to enable 5G, such as C-RAN, edge computing in backhaul, and optical fronthaul. The 5G vision includes very high data rates, very high connected-device count, very low latency, very high reliability and security, and long battery life.

5G combines fixed, mobile, optical, microwave, and IP transport technologies to deliver ultra-dense, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity. The integration of macro and small cell sites with software-defined, cloud-native architectures promises a new level of network flexibility that enables operators to deliver on-demand capacity in support of use cases with highly variable network and spectral requirements.

Network convergence also applies to the connections between AAU and CU/DU (fronthaul) and CU/DU and the core network (backhaul).

As a 5G fiber optic transmission solutions provider, Sun Telecom has the technology and expertise necessary for every type of network and application.
