Next Level Communication with 5G Networking

1. Next Level Communication with 5G Networking

2. With the implementation of the fifth generation of telecom networking, the 5G, it is not only meeting high-speed requirements but also creating a new ecosystem with the Internet of Things where these connected devices communicate with each other making life easier. 

3. The 5G technologies with reduced latency, increased speed and high rates of accuracy are developing a new mode of communication that creates an experience like never before at your fingertips.

4. What is 5G? The 5G technologies with reduced latency, increased speed and high rates of accuracy are developing a new mode of communication that creates an experience like never before at your fingertips.  The new technology offering massive connectivity and enhanced data speeds is made possible with the synchronized working of a set of sub-applications

5. The 5G Process RF wave signals from a cell phone and/or IoT device are captured by the Antennas and Remote Radio Units using advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) which form the head portion of a cellular tower.

6. The 5G Process These signals are further converted to fiber optic signals via Beamforming techniques and send for further processing. The C-RAN (Cloud Radio Access Network) architecture make RRUs more scalable, flexible, efficient, and compatible making 5G networks faster and efficient.

7. Remote Radio Units (RRU) Intricately designed Antennas and Remote Radio Units precisely pick up the high-speed RF wave signals from a cell phone and IoT device to convert them into fiber optic signals before being sent for further processing and vice versa. 

8. From Industrial Ethernet connector like ix Industrial™ IP20 Connector to high speed rugged outdoor I/O connectors, RJ45 modular jacks and transceivers, Amphenol has the best solutions to offer for RRUs and Antennas. Amphenol OCTIS™EazyPwr™connectors finds extensive application in Remote Radio heads and other applications like Small cells, Macrocells, Microwave links and Distributed Antenna Systems

9. Baseband Units (BBU) These signals are further transported to the Base Units where they are converted to electrical signals. With 5G networking, the BBUs are centralized with a single BBU unit catering to multiple networking towers making the system less complex as well as more efficient and economical, with immense speed advantage.

10. Fiber optic signals arriving from the RRU are converted to electrical signals at the BBU and after adjusting for the baseband frequencies, are further transported to the core network.

11. Amphenol has a range of high-speed input-output connectors, USBs, and D-Subs that help in the efficient functioning of these Base Units. With a 0.60mm pitch, Mini Cool Edge IO connectors are next-generation OverPass™ solution capable of transmitting high-speed signals up to 56G PAM4. Also supporting higher density data transmission in a BBU is Amphenol's PCIe® M.2 Connector, which is PCIe® Gen 5 ready with 67 contacts on a 0.50mm pitch.

12. Edge Servers / Edge Data Center Edge servers can be simply described as high-power computers or servers which are placed near or at the "edge" of the 5G network. This makes the 5G network multiple times faster by reducing the latency, making it an ideal technology for mission critical equipment using Artificial Intelligence. 

13. Amphenol's Card-edge connectors, high-performing I/O solutions, DDRs, D-sub, SAS, SATA connectors and High Speed Backplane connectors like ExaMAX+®are distributed within the edge servers enhancing their performance and reliability. Besides these, our range of standard, slim, micro and mini cool edge connectors in various pitch sizes are an apt fit to the latest Edge Server.

14. Network Switches & Gateways Network gateways, switches and servers are an integral part of the 5G network, especially inside the 5G core, where all the post processing of the signal is carried out before being sent to the data centers. 

15. The gateways implement novel techniques like Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Network Slicing to decode and multiplex the signals and then route them to the data centers for further processing.

16. Amphenol’s high speed input output connectors and cables help to provide rack connectivity to the network switches and gateways. Our high speed copper connectors and cable assemblies include a vast list of proven high performance low profile solutions suitable for advanced applications like QSFP DD, SFP+, and Mini SAS.

17. Transponders are interconnected units associated with the RRU or the BBU and play a large part in the transport of the 5G signal. The first half of the transport procedure is called fronthaul, where fiber optic signals from the RRU are fine-tuned by the transponder Then passed on to the BBU and edge servers that are part of the CRAN. The latter half of the procedure where the signals from the CRAN unit are passed on by optics or wireless to the core and further on to the data center is called Backhaul. 

18. Amphenol’s optical transceiver products are designed to suit 5G applications including fronthaul and backhaul. These transceivers support advanced technologies like BIDI, DWDM, LWDM and tunable CWDM and are available in data rates ranging from 1G to 25G and 100G to 400G. Our transceivers including 400Gb/s QSFP DD SR8 features outstanding BER and high sensitivity and are a perfect choice for the massive data transfer rates involved.
