5G isn’t just a faster network for your mobile phone; it’s the backbone of everything we expect the future to be — smart, automated, and connected.
Just some of 5G’s key technological milestones will:
 |
Help to enable 100 percent coverage |
 |
Reduce the network’s energy consumption by 90 percent
|
 |
Facilitate 10-year battery life on low-power devices

Important technologies like medical devices or autonomous cars can’t face lags or disruptions in connectivity. With 5G's low latency and high speeds, these areas will boom:
5G investment on pace to top $240 billion

Mainstream deployments of 5G are expected by 2023, and the telecoms industry is investing across the globe in the race to offer 5G speeds and reliability. By 2022, investment among the below countries alone is expected to peak at more than $240 billion.
Preparing for 5G with optical fiber
5G needs fiber, because it can truly backhaul the amount of data 5G will generate. A single optical fiber can transfer more than 20 Tb per second!
That’s why fiber demand continues to rise across the globe and how Corning has already delivered 1 BILLION KILOMETERS of fiber to date.

In the future, will 5G make existing networks obsolete?
Mobile and fixed networks are only wireless at the edge. Fiber will still be the best solution for backhauling the information from both fixed and mobile networks.

5G will not replace the current optical fiber infrastructure; it will evolve over it.
