Mobile & Fixed-line 10Giga Trends
10 Gigabit per second capabilities and use-case scenarios are ready
to be exploited:
• The experience of people and home connections is being upgraded.
• Consumer mobile services have become increasingly immersive
and interactive, while home large-screen services are transiting to
3D and HD formats.
• Such service changes require an upgrade of network experience
from 1.0 marked by ubiquitous gigabit to 2.0 marked by 5.5G's 10
Gbit/s downlink, Gbit/s uplink, and deterministic experience.
• 10 Gbit/s ultra-large bandwidth spectrum and chipsets are ready.
• The existing sub-6GHz spectrum is starting to be re-farmed to
achieve ultra-large bandwidth.
• Millimeter Wave spectrum (EHF), covering 3-30 GHz range, has
been allocated in 40 countries for commercial access, which
ensures that 10 Gbit/s capability can be implemented.
• With 5.5G chipsets that support 10 Gbit/s services have been
released to enable 10 component carriers on mmWave and 5
component carriers on sub-6GHz. The cornerstone of 10 Gbit/s
experience in mobile networks has been set.
• Wi-Fi 6/6E: Complementing fixed-line speeds, Wi-Fi 6 (and Wi-Fi
6E) provides faster wireless throughput and improved capacity,
supporting multi-Gigabit speeds.
• Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH): Deployment of full-fiber connections
directly to homes, providing ultra-fast 10G speeds with minimal
latency.
• XGS-PON (10G PON): A next-generation Passive Optical Network
(PON) that supports up to 10 Gbps downstream, offering faster
and more reliable fiber internet connections.
• DOCSIS 4.0: The latest Cable Broadband standard, enabling 10
Gbps speeds over existing coaxial cable networks with Full Duplex
technology for symmetrical speeds.
• XG-FAST: A high-speed DSL technology that offers speeds
approaching 10 Gbps over copper lines, enabling high-speed
internet without full fiber deployment.
• Multi-Gigabit Ethernet: Increasing the availability of 10G Ethernet
for residential and business networks, offering seamless
connectivity for ultra-high-speed applications.
• Network Slicing: In 5G and fiber networks, slicing allows operators
to dedicate parts of the network for specific use cases, such as 10
Gigabit broadband service, ensuring optimal performance.
• Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM): Increasing the
capacity of fiber networks by transmitting multiple wavelengths of
light, allowing networks to support 10G+ speeds.
• Cloud Gaming and High-Definition Streaming: The rise of these
services pushes for 10G networks, offering the bandwidth
necessary for 4K/8K streaming and cloud gaming with minimal
latency.
• Passive IoT is enabling all-scenario connections, and is rapidly
developing, with terminal tag prototypes already available for use,
and spectrum, product forms, and business models actively being
defined in different markets.
• Smart Cities and IoT: The deployment of 10G fixed-line
infrastructure supports smart city applications, including IoT,
autonomous vehicles, and real-time data analysis with high
bandwidth and low latency
