Surging deployment of 5G communication networks

The extensive penetration of 5G across developed and developing economies will bring positive opportunities for fiber optics vendors in the market. 5G infrastructure is widely dependent on the adoption of optical fibers.

These optical fibers can transfer an enormous amount of data at high transmission rates from one location to another. With the ongoing commercialization of 5G services, telecom service providers are emphasizing adding newer 5G base stations to gain a competitive advantage in the market. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), China, the telecom service providers in China has deployed approximately 1.425 million 5G base station in the country as of March 2022. These base stations will support network traffic of over 500 million users nationwide.

Challenges in installing fiber optics networks in difficult terrains and high cost of installation

While fiber optic cables are typically installed within conduits alongside the pipeline, there are significant challenges to installing the conduits along trenchless installations.

Challenges in fiber use can be attributed to technical and administrative difficulties. Many telecommunications companies worldwide have telecommunications infrastructure under the oceans with subsea fiber optic cable networks. Verizon, a cable operator in the US, deployed a fiber optic network under the umbrella of Fiber Optic Service (FiOS), reaching 481,000 sales locations at the end of 2021. The company is also planning to add another 550,000 FiOS locations by 2022 and aims to reach 18 million homes and 8 million internet subscribers by the end of 2025. This will boost its services in the face of a direct business downturn. Underground fiber optic cables are located mainly on highways and city streets. However, planning a fiber route and adhering to it becomes difficult in an area where any building or commercial site comes without authorization. Such factors pose a major challenge to the growth of fiber optics market.
