Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced the launch of a 25Gbps EML CAN module supporting high-speed optical data transmission in radio access networks within fifth-generation (5G) mobile base stations. The new module will be on display at the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) 2018 in Shenzhen, China, from September 5 to 8, and will be commercially available from November 1.
The introduction of 5G mobile networks will herald the transmission of huge volumes of data and the need for high-speed optical communication networks; this will in turn drive customer demand for high-speed optical devices with low power consumption. The new 25Gbps EML CAN unit addresses these requirements, and will help to improve the productivity and efficiency of customer installations.
