In the medium and long term, 5G network construction will determine the development of the fiber optic cable market after 2018. With the advent of 5G era (the number of 5G base stations will be 1.5 times that of 4G base stations, a large number of small and micro stations, a large number of Internet of things access, the distribution of optical fiber indoors and the construction of smart cities), the number of access will increase, which requires more fiber access, including fixed access and mobile access.
With more and more optical fiber resources, the construction of ultra-dense 5G network, including macro station, digital room and small micro-base station, will bring a huge amount of optical cable resource consumption, especially optical fiber. How to manage more efficiently becomes a problem that cannot be ignored.
