When we use wireless networks to chat, work, watch movies or play games, you may not realize that each wireless node is actually connected to each other through a large number of optical fiber communication networks. Nowadays, with the continuous expansion of wireless access points in 4G and 5G networks, more and more optical fibers will be needed to meet the increasing demands of these networks.

The importance of 5G in future applications
Staying connected is an inevitable part of modern daily life. People have become accustomed to making calls, sending emails or watching videos anytime and anywhere. In the future, human society will usher in an era of more advanced and higher-speed network interconnection, and everything may far exceed our imagination. The industry's demand for concurrent connections and instantaneous connections will continue to rise.
The necessity of 5G in the future
Currently, 3G and 4G networks require a macro base station every few miles, and macro base stations are usually deployed on high towers or on the roof of buildings. In the macro base station network, because the signal is blocked, the network coverage often has gaps, so additional small base stations need to be deployed to fill or enhance the user coverage.
The relationship between fiber and 5G
5G networks need to use a tighter radio antenna network to achieve a large number of connections, low latency, and high connection speeds. Although there may be many variables, in some cases, 5G small base stations may need to be deployed every 500 feet or less. By deploying more base stations in a smaller area, a denser, faster, and more connected optical fiber communication network is formed.
