5G networks offer lower latency, greater flexibility, and increased bandwidth compared to 4G technology. To deliver these improvements, 5G fronthaul networks use different hardware and networking protocols to those found in previous generation networks.
The emerging fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system threatens to demand the exponential increase of passive components. With 10Gpbs of peak data rate and the enabling technologies such as massive MIMO and carrier aggregation, some experts estimate the passive components volume to increase by at least 10x of a 4G network system...
