What is 5G?

Higher data rates, less delay, more devices,more applications vs. 4G

• Q&A



Why do we need 5G?



Future Applications Require High Bandwidth and Low Latency (Delay)

Billions of new “things” will be connected over the next 5 years



Autonomous Vehicles Can Save $1.3T for U.S Economy – and may utilize Gigabit 5G Connections

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich:

“The average autonomous car will create about 40

gigabytes of data each minute.”

• Q&A



FTTH best to meet growing residential and business bandwidth demands

FTTH future potential is >100X that of other technologies



FTTH Growing in the US and Globally

FTTH available to 35M Homes, must reach 90M additional homes for 90% availability in U.S.



5G is short range so needs more cells to provide coverage.

What is it?

• Periodic bonds between fibers in a ribbon

• Enables ribbon to be rolled into a cylinder

Benefits

• Enables 2x fiber vs flat ribbon in same OD

• Ribbon splicing functionality

• Gel free

Rollable Ribbon in Loose Tube design benefits

• Rugged – fibers protected

• Easy individual fiber and ribbon access

• Bend insensitive Zero-Water Peak fiber

Rollable Ribbon is a new technology that can

lower deployment cost by doubling fiber density

Microcable Helps Lower System Cost for Network Densification

Smallest – 5.7-6.3 mm

Midia® GX Micro-cable

(Traditional cable = 15.7mm)

Smaller – 8.6 mm

Small – 9.7 mm

Micro-Trenching

• Less costly than digging up streets

• Duct placed and cable blown in

• Smaller cables enable faster, less expensive installation.



New Self Supporting Cables Offer Significant Labor Savings

Aerial Dielectric Self Supporting cable (ADSS) installs faster, eases copper recovery

• Up to 30% lower installed cost and 30% faster vs. lashing• 1 hr. time savings per terminal – no gel to clean• Eases recovery of copper – not lashed to copper as are traditional cables• Popular with Power Utilities (Fully Dielectric)

First to market gel free
