Principles and Potentials of F5G: The Fifth Generation Fixed Network

In general, 5G is understood to be the fifth generation of mobile communications. However, there is also a fifth generation of wired communications which is led by the optical fiber technologies. This technology too has several attractive features like the wireless mobile 5G. In this article, we present the basic concepts of Fifth Generation Fixed Network (F5G). We show its characteristics and explain how it is going to change the communication landscape. We present the key benefits of F5G and show the main motivations behind its development. There are several applications of F5G and many emerging applications are also being introduced every year. Therefore, this newly developed technology has a lot of commercial importance in the modern world. In addition to the above, F5G is going to be one of the main rivals of 5G in the fixed environment. It is expected that F5G will outperform all its contemporary access area technologies in the fixed domain in the next few years. In this article, we briefly present its applications and future economic prospects.
