The 5G IoT Era – Wireline Networks will enable the future

Session Abstract:

Year 2020, Covid-19 outbreak has paved way for the new normal towards a digital world.
As a ray of hope amidst these tough times, the hype of 5G is finally real and countries are deploying their own 5G networks.
Ever since the inception of Internet of Things (IoT), it has come a long way and today, is a reality on a massive scale, empowering major industries.
As we discuss about these technologies further, shall we take for granted the backbone behind all these limitless possibilities?
Proliferation of IOT relies on the future that 5G promises. But what is the essential foundation for the success of 5G?
What is the answer to satisfy the humongous bandwidth need ahead of us?
Internet of Things (IoT) will generate huge amounts of data and will make our lives much easier and simpler, but are the data centers ready to cope with this ever-increasing network demand?
To meet the dynamic data needs of 5G and IoT, fiber is the best choice because of its unlimited bandwidth potential. Fiber-optic infrastructure is used by the current 4G systems, but more fiber will be required to support widespread 5G. Its not just about the wireless technologies that will enable the 5G revolution, wireline and wireless network convergence is the key for its success.
Data centers should be prepared for the IoT era driven by 5G and enough bandwidth must be there to send data from the device to the data center, as well as between data centers. This is critically important for things such as autonomous vehicles, in which real time data is constantly received and analyzed to avoid collisions. Advances in the field of coherent optics have enabled data transmission at rates of 100G and beyond. With optical fibers immune to electromagnetic interference and supporting low latency and jitter, Fiber-To-The-X (FTTX) applications are the answer and have become the preferred medium to reach devices deeper into the network. The proposed session would be a presentation with end-user and enterprises as the target audience. The presentation will cover the 5G enhancements and use cases. It will highlight the optical fiber communication advantages and latest optical transport network technologies- OTUCn, eCPRI and others to be used at the mobile fronthaul, midhaul and backhaul network to achieve 5G use cases and enable IoT applications.

Speaker:

Richa Daga
Embedded Software Engineer, Ciena
