Abstract

Abstract: Connected society and people is a vision nursed and promoted by most business and social enterprises for several years. This is supported aptly by 5G networks. 5G is one of the most advanced wireless technologies that assure ultra-low latency and swift data delivery. Unlike 3G and 4G networks, the 5G uses a different set of frequencies to deliver services. It uses Sub-6- GHz worldwide for mobile connectivity and 24 GHz for high-bandwidth coverage. In 4G networks, small number of macro cells was employed to cover one square mile. However, in 5G, many microcells are used to cover a square mile. The deployment would vary on a case-to-case basis, but a 1:600 ratio assures a new level of densification. Optical fiber is the new choice for connecting this dense mesh of 5G microcells. Why is it so?
