Application of Fiber Optic Technologies in Wireless Communication Systems Slides

The convergence of optical and wireless networks continues to evolve, ever since the first proposals of extending wireless coverage areas using optical fiber links several decades ago. Today the use of fiber optic links in wireless networks is becoming ever increasingly pervasive. The realization of integrated optical/wireless networks that can support current and future capacity demands, traffic growth rates, new services, as well as multiple wireless standards is presenting new challenges and opportunities for advanced fiber optic technologies. This webinar presents an overview of optical fiber based solutions for next generation wireless networks. The associated system architectures and signal transport technologies that enable the implementation of integrated optical wireless networks will be discussed. The successful application of fiber optic technologies in next generation wireless systems, such as 5G and 60 GHz networks, will also be reviewed.
