The main argument for FTTH connections being future-proof is that the connections are capable of very fast transmissions and moving huge amounts of data . (Hence why the fiber “middle mile” is creeping ever closer to households as these vast data troves must be transmitted to and from the internet.)
Read moreIs 5G faster than NBN?
5G offers faster maximum speeds than the NBN , but coverage is currently extremely limited in comparison. 5G could be a NBN alternative for some users, but is unlikely to replace other broadband plans and options.
Read moreDoes 5G replace Fibernet?
There’s no evidence of any health effects from 5G, but convincing everyone that the technology is safe may be a challenge. With all these barriers to full 5G adoption, it might not be possible to replace cable broadband with 5G broadband completely .8 Oca 2020
Read moreIs broadband Fibre 5G?
In terms of technology, 5G uses radio waves for sending and receiving data while Fiber optic communication uses light to transmit data through fiber optic cables . Whereas 5G can have downlink speed up to the scale of 20 Gbps and 10 Gbps uplink, practical speed measured on Fiber cables is 100 Gbps.
Read moreIs 5G better than Fiber optic?
While Fiber optic cable is substantially faster than 5G for the time being , the technology of 5G is only in its infancy and will improve as it gets implemented. 5G has a potential speed of 20 Gbps, while fiber optics boasts upwards of 100 Gbps or more.
Read moreWill Fibre become obsolete?
The short answer is no – Fiber optic cables have been around since 1952, and although the digital landscape has changed, fiber won’t become obsolete anytime soon . It’s pretty hard to compete against the speed of light.
