Hello everyone!
This time, I will forward an article about F5G for you.
The fixed network industry has entered the era of F5G full-fiber gigabit based on 10G PON and Wi-Fi 6. Promoting dual gigabit acceleration for F5G fixed broadband and 5G mobile broadband will create a thriving industry ecosystem and open the door to a new era of development for fixed networks on a global scale.
The generational evolution from 1G to 5G in the mobile communications industry is well known. But “5G” only represents mobile communications. What about fixed networks? In fact, fixed networks have also entered their fifth generation – and we call it F5G.
F5G definition and key features
The development of fixed networks has been driven by business needs and supported by technological advancements. First came the narrowband era supported by PSTN/ISDN (64 Kbps). This was followed by ADSL-based broadband (10 Mbps), VDSL-based ultra-broadband (30–200 Mbps), and then 100 Mbps enabled by GPON/EPON (100–300 Mbps). Right now we’re stepping into the 10G PON-driven F5G gigabit ultra-fast broadband age. And in the future, we may see a 10G era based on 50G PON.
The future of fixed networks is all-optical. The technology that will support the F5G gigabit era is 10G PON-based full-fiber access. Compared with previous generations of fixed access technologies, the F5G gigabit network represents a huge leap in three ways: bandwidth, number of connections, and network experience.
Ultra-high bandwidth: Network bandwidth has symmetric uplink/downlink gigabit broadband capabilities. Wi-Fi 6 eliminates the final 10-meter bottleneck of gigabit connections, enabling a single-point connection experience for the cloud era.
Full-fiber connection: The comprehensive coverage of fiber optic infrastructure will support ubiquitous connections, including connections to every home, machine, room, and even desktop. This in turn will support the expansion of vertical industry applications, a ten-fold plus increase in service scenarios, and a 100-fold increase in the number of connections, and thus enable the era of fiber optic connectivity.
Ultimate experience: F5G will introduce network slicing and built-in AI on the network side, supporting zero packet loss and microsecond latency. In conjunction with cloud platform AI + big data-based intelligent O&M, this will meet users’ service requirements. F5G will continue to optimize the home device experience and reduce Wi-Fi latency, improving the user experience for applications like 4K video and interactive games.
These three key features of F5G will enhance user experience in traditional home access scenarios. Meanwhile, F5G will help optical fiber networks overcome traditional industry barriers and rapidly penetrate various sectors like enterprise, transportation, security, and campuses. It will help industries transform digitally.
The fixed network industry has seen tremendous changes in terms of applications, technology, and network architecture. It has now entered the era of F5G full-fiber gigabit based on 10G PON and Wi-Fi 6. The 10G PON standard was released in 2013. The technology, industry chain, and products are now fully mature. The main manufacturers are capable of mass-producing 10G PON core processing optical modules, and the market is entering the large-scale deployment stage.
The above is from Stepping forward together: F5G fixed broadband and 5G.
