INGR Webinar Series: Xhaul Optical, Transport and Synchronization Networks

Continued strong demand for high band mobile broadband services and emergence of ultra-low latency use cases demand new architectures in wireless access networks. These new architectures break the wireless access into backhaul, midhaul and fronthaul networks. Fronthaul networks are associated with some of the most stringent requirements in terms of latency, packet throughput and time/frequency error limits.

Meeting these ever increasing requirements demand new optical, transport and synchronization architectures and solutions. The webinar will start by summarizing the xhaul requirements, and provides approaches for new optical networks based on enhancements to WDM and PON networks. It continues by reviewing new approaches to packet-based transport technologies, and closes with a description of enhanced synchronization architectures and solutions that meet more stringent 5G time alignment error limits.
