The need for optical transceivers for 5G networks?

To achieve the ability as well as capacity to adapt to the changing demand in the utilization of the optical fibre network, the demand for high-rate optical transceivers has significantly increased as the 5G network requires higher base-station/cell-site density. Optical communications will be the cornerstone technology independent of various fronthaul options.

Currently, LTE base stations generally use 10G optical transceivers. This changes with 5G networks, where it’s expected that 25G eCPRI/50G optical transceivers will be preferred when it comes to the optical fronthaul network & 100G in the Midhaul/Backhaul networks.

At Syrotech, we’re helping to facilitate the 5G revolution. We stock a comprehensive range of optical Transceivers.

Our compatibility guarantee means that you can be confident that we will only sell products that meet or exceed the vendor specification with compliance to all MSA standards and protocols.
