THE 5G REVOLUTION
5G, or “fifth generation”,
is an upcoming standard for mobile telecommunications services, which plans for global commercialisation and use of super-fast 5G internet connectivity from 2020, which will have significantly higher capacity than the current 4G network and is up to 100 times faster. But what is crucial is its lightning response time, which is around one millisecond.
This will allow users to not only surf the internet, upload or download videos, and use data-intensive applications much faster than is currently possible – it will find applications in, for example, transportation, virtual reality, sports, IoT, but also in healthcare.

HUBER + SUHNER, presented its solution for densifying mobile networks at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona?
The company’s presence at the show focused on the upcoming topology changes that are necessary to prepare for the ever-increasing capacity and complexity requirements of future 5G networks.
This includes our modular and OEM cable solutions for cellular radio networks, efficient fiber management solutions for central office, as well as compact and technically unique fiber capacity solutions between cell site and central office.
“As mobile network architectures evolve and operators slowly prepare for the transition to 5G, HUBER+SUHNER can offer a unique portfolio covering many aspects of mobile network evolution.”

This year, it will also introduce the HUBER+SUHNER CUBO Converter – a new 25Gbps transponder for 5G networks;
A compact, cost-effective and robust transport capacity management solution for solving fiber problems on the front links of your network.
Up next will be port enhancements to the familiar HUBER+SUHNER MASTERLINE cable systems that combine AC and DC power with high-speed multi-fiber into a customized hybrid connectivity solution – perfectly matching the real needs of macro sells upgrade projects.
“Network densification through the addition of small cells and other radio frequencies, associated radio access problems and capacity issues at the front-end of the mobile network are typical problems faced by mobile operators around the world. So it made perfect sense to present our network identification solution that addressed these issues at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.”
