Equally as important to note is that not only does 5G need fiber , but it needs huge fiber counts with incredible density and ability to access that through splice points that are near enough to where it is needed so you can break out.

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.
