The Future of 5G Fronthaul

The 5G network revolution promises to fulfill the capacity needs that previous cellular generations could…

The 5G network revolution promises to fulfill the capacity needs that previous cellular generations could no longer provide to the ever-increasing customer demands. This network generation is expected to revolutionize the concept of telecommunication and bring the most anticipated services of larger bandwidth, higher speed, and reduced latency as part of the modern cellular network. The upgrade from 4G to 5G has shifted the radio access network (RAN) from a two-level structure with backhaul and fronthaul in 4G to a three-level structure with back-, mid-, and fronthaul:

Fronthaul is the segment between the active antenna unit (AAU) and the distributed unit (DU)
Midhaul is the segment from DU to the centralized unit (CU)
Backhaul is the segment from CU to the core network.

Figure-backhaul-fronthaul — Figure 2: Simplified diagram that shows and compares the building blocks of 4G (left) and 5G (right) access networks and the links between these blocks.

5G promises to interconnect exponentially more devices than before, with higher speed and latencies. As a result, 5G edge network bandwidth requirements can reach up to 100 times more than 4G. These requirements will put more pressure on the existing fiber infrastructure, and mobile network operators are expected to deliver their 5G promises with relatively little expansion in their fiber infrastructure.

The initial rollout of 5G has already happened in most developed countries, with operators switching from 1G SFP transceivers and grey transceivers to 10G SFP+ or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Mobile networks must move to the next phase of 5G deployments, which will exponentially increase the number of devices connected to the network. These more mature phases of 5G deployment will require operators to scale capacity cost-effectively. The move to 25G tunable optics in fronthaul networks will enable this expansion in capacity in an affordable way and help promote a long-awaited convergence between mobile and fixed access networks.

Enhancing Mobile Fronthaul Capacity

The move from 4G to 5G networks saw many operators upgrade their 10G grey transceivers to tunable 10G transceivers and 25G grey transceivers to make the most of their fiber infrastructure. However, as the 5G rollout moves into a more mature phase, the demands of fronthaul networks will often require even greater capacity from fiber infrastructure.

These future demands are a key reason why South Korea’s service providers decided to future-proof their fiber infrastructure and invested in 10G and 25G WDM technology since the early stages of their 5G rollout. Over time, providers in other countries will find themselves fiber-limited and turn towards tunable technologies. These trends are why LightCounting forecasts that the 25G DWDM market will provide the most significant revenue opportunity in the coming five years.

These 25G tunable transceivers support a typical reach of 10 km. It can reach up to 15 or even 20 km with extra amplification and compensation. Maximizing the capacity of fronthaul fiber will not only be beneficial for mobile network providers and telecom business developers, system architectures, equipment manufacturers, and product developers.

DWDM Solutions For Fronthaul Aggregation

The transitions to 3G and 4G relied heavily on more efficient use of broader RF spectrum blocks. These transitions were as simple for many cell sites as changing the appropriate radio line card at a base station unit. The same cannot be said about the transition to 5G. Particularly this second phase of 5G deployment will require a more profound restructuring of mobile network architecture. These mature 5G networks will use higher frequency bands, which require the deployment of more cell sites and antennas to cover the same geographical areas as 4G. In contrast, existing antennas must upgrade to denser antenna arrays.

The characteristics of this second 5G deployment mean that operators must deploy larger-bandwidth channels and more total channels due to the additional base stations. DWDM is an excellent fit for interconnecting these new smaller cell sites since it allows operators to quickly increase their number of channels without having to lay out new and expensive fiber infrastructure. Thanks to the 25G capacity, these additional channels can be easily aggregated into the fronthaul transport network without being limited by fiber infrastructure.

Figure-5g-frount-haul-deep-fiber — Figure 3. Comparison between 4G legacy fiber deployments in access networks vs. future deep fiber deployments in 5G. The latter needs significantly more fiber capacity and infrastructure that can handle this aggregation, such as DWDM.

The Dream of Fixed-Mobile Access

Carriers that provide both fixed and mobile network services may often have to deal with situations in which their fixed and mobile access networks compete against each other. Since these networks often use different technology standards and even transmission media (e.g., legacy coaxial networks in fixed access), these carriers often have to build additional and arguably redundant optical infrastructure.

These carriers have long dreamed of merging their fixed and mobile network infrastructures under the same standards and transmission pipes. Such solutions reduce the need to build and manage redundant infrastructure. The expansion of fiber infrastructure and WDM technology might finally provide them with the opportunity to do so.

Figure-metro-core-network — Figure 4: Simplified example of some critical technologies and network architectures that could be merged in a converged fixed-mobile access network solution. These include radio access networks (RAN) with DWDM technology and Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) protocols, as well as passive optical networks that combine time-division multiplexing (TDM) and WDM technology.

Passive optical networks (PON) have become a popular solution to implement fiber-to-the-home solutions. These networks’ bandwidth and latency requirements are leading to the standardization of 25G PONs and WDM-PON technology. Now that both mobile and fixed access are considering 25G WDM solutions, it might be a good time to revisit the subject of convergence, as together, this network will offer various quality services such as communication, entertainment, and data acquisition without any terminal, application, network, and location limitation.

Takeaways

25G tunable optics will become an industry standard for mobile fronthaul in the coming years. They allow operators to make the most of their existing fiber infrastructure, maximizing bandwidth and increasing the network’s ability to aggregate more signals from smaller and more numerous 5G base stations. For certain carriers, they could enable a future converged fixed-access network that simplifies the installation and management of their infrastructure. As shown by the example of South Korean network operators, it pays off to anticipate all these future demands and invest in a future-proof network that can scale up quickly.

Designing in the Great Lakes

Last year, EFFECT Photonics announced the acquisition of the coherent optical digital signal processing (DSP)…

Last year, EFFECT Photonics announced the acquisition of the coherent optical digital signal processing (DSP) and forward error correction (FEC) business unit from the global communications company Viasat Inc. This also meant welcoming to the EFFECT Photonics family a new engineering team who will continue to work in the Cleveland area.

As EFFECT Photonics expands its influence into the American Midwest, it is interesting to dive deeper into Cleveland’s history with industry and technology. Cleveland has enjoyed a long story as a Midwest industrial hub, and as these traditional industries have declined, it is evolving into one of the high-tech hubs of the region.

Cleveland and the Industrial Revolution

Cleveland’s industrial sector expanded significantly in the 19th century because of the city’s proximity to several essential resources and transportation routes: coal and iron ore deposits, the Ohio and Erie Canal, and the Lake Erie railroad. For example, several steel mills, such as the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company and the Cleveland Iron and Steel Company, emerged because of the city’s proximity to Lake Erie, facilitating the transportation of raw materials and goods.

Building on the emerging iron and steel industries, heavy equipment production also found a home in Cleveland. Steam engines, railroad equipment, and other forms of heavy machinery were all manufactured in great quantities in the city.

Cleveland saw another massive boost to its industrial hub status with the birth of the Standard Oil Company in 1870. At the peak of its power, Standard Oil was the largest petroleum company in the world, and its success made its founder and head, John D. Rockefeller, one of the wealthiest men of all time. This history with petroleum also led to the emergence of Cleveland’s chemicals and materials industry.

Many immigrants moved to Cleveland, searching for work in these expanding industries, contributing to the city’s rapid population boom. This growth also prompted the development of new infrastructure like roads, railways and bridges to accommodate the influx of people.

Several important electrical and mechanical equipment manufacturers, including the Bendix Corporation, the White Motor Company, and the Western Electric Company (which supplied equipment to the US Bell System), also established their headquarters in or around Cleveland in the late 19^th and early 20th century.

From Traditional Industry to Healthcare and High-Tech

In the second half of the 20^th century, Cleveland’s traditional industries, such as steel and manufacturing in Cleveland began to collapse. As was the case in many other great American manufacturing centers, automation, globalization, and other socioeconomic shifts all had a role in this decline. The demise of Cleveland’s core industries was a significant setback, but the city has made substantial efforts in recent years to diversify its economy and grow in new technology and healthcare areas.

For example, the Cleveland Clinic is one of the leading US academic medical centers, with pioneering medical breakthroughs such as the first coronary artery bypass surgery and the first face transplant in the United States. Institutions like theirs or the University Hospitals help establish Cleveland as a center for healthcare innovation.

Cleveland is also trying to evolve as a high-tech hub that attracts new workers and companies, especially in software development. Companies are attracted by the low office leasing and other operating costs, while the affordable living costs attract workers. As reported by the real estate firm CBRE, Cleveland’s tech workforce grew by 25 percent between 2016 and 2021, which was significantly above the national average of 12.8 percent.

A New Player in Cleveland’s High-Tech Industry

As Cleveland’s history as a tech hub continues, EFFECT Photonics is excited to join this emerging tech environment. Our new DSP team will find its new home in the Wagner Awning building in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland’s West Side.

This building was erected in 1895 and hosted a sewing factory that manufactured everything from tents and flotation devices for American soldiers and marines to awnings for Cleveland buildings. When the Ohio Awning company announced its relocation in 2015, this historic building began a redevelopment process to become a new office and apartment space.

EFFECT Photonics is proud to become a part of Cleveland’s rich and varied history with industry and technology. We hope our work can help develop this city further as a tech hub and attract more innovators and inventors to Cleveland.

What is DWDM and Why Should You Care?

Imagine a couple of small trucks moving along a country road in opposite directions, carrying…

Imagine a couple of small trucks moving along a country road in opposite directions, carrying goods between factories and consumers. As the population grows and demand increases, the trucks grow in number, and diversity of goods and traffic increases. City planners must start adding lanes until, eventually the tiny country road has become a large multi-lane highway with 18-wheelers moving vast volumes of different types of merchandise every day. A similar rapid expansion in ‘cargo’ has happened in telecommunications.

The telecommunications industry and service providers, in particular, have faced a dramatic and very rapid increase in the volume and type of data their systems must handle. Networks built initially to transmit soundwaves as electrical signals from one phone to another were now faced with managing data and video in real-time from many devices. Within approximately 30 years, we have moved from the introduction of the Internet and the creation of the Worldwide Web to the rollout of 5G wireless technology and the Internet-of-Things (IoT), through which virtually all devices can theoretically be interconnected.

Handling this exponentially increasing data traffic has required massive contributions from fiber optics and optical communications systems. In these systems, laser light carries much higher data transmission rates over greater distances than electrical signals. To encode the data into light, transmit it, and decode it back into electrical signals upon receipt, optical communication systems rely on optical transceivers. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is a transceiver technology developed around 20 years ago that dramatically increases the amount of data transmitted over existing fiber networks. Data from various signals are separated, encoded on different wavelengths, and put together (multiplexed) in a single optical fiber.

The wavelengths are separated again and reconverted into the original digital signals at the receiving end. In other words, DWDM allows different data streams to be sent simultaneously over a single optical fiber without requiring new cables to be laid. In a way, it’s like adding more lanes to the information highway without having to build new roads!

Optical fiber with DWDM Channels — Figure 1: Example of a bidirectional DWDM system. At the central office, transceiver modules pick different wavelength channels for transmission, and these channels are combined into a single fiber through a device called a multiplexer. A demultiplexer splits the wavelength channels into separate fibers and the receiving modules on the remote end. Since this is a bidirectional system, transmission can go opposite too, from the remote end to the central office.

The tremendous expansion in data volume afforded with DWDM can be seen compared to other optical methods. A standard transceiver, often called a grey transceiver, is a single-channel device – each fiber has a single laser source. You can transmit 10 Gbps with grey optics. Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) has multiple channels, although far fewer than possible with DWDM. For example, with a 4-channel CWDM, you can transmit 40 Gbps. DWDM can accommodate up to 100 channels.

You can transmit 1 Tbps or one trillion bps at that capacity – 100 times more data than grey optics and 25 times more than CWDM. While the volume of data transmitted with DWDM is impressive, demand will continue to grow as we move toward IoT and 5G. Adding additional optical transceivers with different wavelengths to a fixed-wavelength DWDM system can significantly increase costs. Tunable DWDM transceivers allow you to control the wavelength (color) that the laser channel emits, adding flexibility and reducing cost. However, two obstacles prevented the broader deployment of DWDM technology.

First of all, installing and maintaining many new DWDM optical links was a time-consuming and costly process. Fortunately, the telecom industry developed a new weapon to face these challenges: self-tuning DWDM modules. Self-tuning DWDM modules minimize the network’s time-to-service by eliminating additional installation tasks such as manual tuning and record verification and reducing the potential for human error. They are host-agnostic and can plug into any third-party host equipment.

Furthermore, tunability standards allow modules from different vendors to communicate with each other, avoiding compatibility issues and simplifying upgrade choices. Self-tuning modules made the deployment and operation of DWDM links faster, simpler, and more affordable. The second issue had to do with size. DWDM modules were traditionally too large, so plugging them into a router required sacrificing roughly half of the expensive router faceplate capacity. Telecom operators could not accept such a trade-off. Advances in electronic and photonic integration overcame these trade-offs, miniaturizing coherent line card transponders into pluggable modules the size of a large USB stick.

Few companies worldwide supply DWDM technology with such compact sizes and self-tuning features. EFFECT Photonics is among them, and its tunable and cost-effective DWDM technologies will act as enablers of 5G and IoT, bringing the future to you today.

On October 21^st, 1983, the General Conference of Weights and Measures adopted the current value of the speed of light at 299,792.458 km/s. To commemorate this milestone, hundreds of optics and photonics companies, organizations, and institutes all over the world organize activities every year on this date to celebrate the Day of Photonics and how this technology is impacting our daily lives.

At EFFECT Photonics, we want to celebrate the Day of Photonics by answering some commonly asked questions about photonics and its impact on the world.

What is Photonics?

Photonics is the study and application of photon (light) generation, manipulation, and detection, often aiming to create, control, and sense light signals.

The term photonics emerged in the 60s and 70s with the development of the first semiconductor lasers and optical fibers. Its goals and even the name “photonics” are born from its analogy with electronics: photonics aims to generate, control, and sense photons (the particles of light) in similar ways to how electronics does with electrons (the particles of electricity).

What is Photonics Used for?

Photonics can be applied in many ways. For the Day of Photonics, we will explore two categories:

Communications

Light is the fastest information carrier in the universe and can transmit this information while dissipating less heat and energy than electrical signals. Thus, photonics can dramatically increase the speed, reach, and flexibility of communication networks and cope with the ever-growing demand for more data. And it will do so at a lower energy cost, decreasing the Internet’s carbon footprint.

A classic example is optical fiber communications. The webpage you are reading was originally a stream of 0 and 1s that traveled through an optical fiber to reach you.

Outside of optical fibers, photonics can also deliver solutions beyond what traditional radio communications can offer. For example, optical transmission over the air could handle links between different sites of a mobile network, links between cars, or to a satellite out in space. At some point, we may even see the use of Li-Fi, a technology that replaces indoor Wi-Fi links with infrared light.

Sensing

There are multiple sensing application markets, but their core technology is the same. They need a small device that sends out a known pulse of light, accurately detects how the light comes back, and calculates the properties of the environment from that information. It’s a simple but quite powerful concept.

This concept is already being used to implement LIDAR systems that help self-driving cars determine the location and distance of people and objects. However, there is also potential to use this concept in medical and agri-food applications, such as looking for undesired growths in the human eye or knowing how ripe an apple is.

Will Photonics Replace Electronics?

No, each technology has its strengths.

When transmitting information from point A to B, photonics can do it faster and more efficiently than electronics. For example, optical fiber can transmit information at the speed of light and dissipate less heat than electric wires.

On the other hand, since electricity can be manipulated at the nanometer level more easily than light, electronics are usually better for building computers. There are some specific areas where photonic computers could outperform traditional electronic ones, especially given the rise of quantum computers that can be made with photonic components. However, most computer products will remain electronic for the foreseeable future.

Thus, photonics is not expected to replace electronics but to collaborate and integrate strongly with it. Most future applications will involve photonic systems transmitting or sensing information then processed by electronic computers.

Karen Whicker, Quality Manager, EFFECT Photonics

Acquiring the certification process began in 2020 by preparing all the necessary documentation and setting up the right systems for the review. In a two-step process, in April and September 2021, EFFECT Photonics received all the necessary approvals. Through this procedure, the company was able to showcase its vision, mission and values, which comprise its quality policy and its future objectives.

It is these professional systems that help us boost our credibility as a value player. There is an expectation from the end-customer point of view that we are certified for having these scalable systems and that they have been put in place for future growth. One of the things that we had to do for every process was put together a map. For each of the different business processes we have, there is a document that can guide you like a map so that you can see which systems we use, which documents, and which resources are applicable. It also explains how we measure the processes to see if they’re effective.
Karen Whicker, Quality Manager, EFFECT Photonics

Maintaining the certification, which lasts for three years, is an ongoing process, that involves frequent surveillance audits. Every three years the approval process is repeated and once the quality standards are assured, the certificate is reissued.
