Development trend of 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28 optical modules in 5G networks
December 03 , 2021In the next five years, 5G network (fifth-generation mobile communication technology) will become a hot spot in the field of information and communication, and the rapid development of the field of information and communication. The advance construction and upgrade of the bearer network will promote the continuous increase in the demand for optical components in the telecom network. At the same time, the data center network in the cloud computing era Demand has exploded, and the demand for high-speed optical modules such as 25G SFP28 optical modules and 100G QSFP28 optical modules has grown rapidly.
With the deployment of 5G, operators need to deploy wider bandwidths to achieve high-traffic data applications, such as telemedicine, VR, 4K video, etc. Therefore, each layer of the mobile network must have higher speeds, which also promotes the SFP28 25G optical Module / Application of QSFP28 100G optical module.
In addition to the huge demand for optical modules in operator networks, the accelerated construction of cloud computing data centers puts forward the demand for 25G optical modules/100G optical modules. From the perspective of the traffic model, traditional data centers are mainly north-south (interaction between clients and servers), while cloud data centers are mainly east-west (exchange between internal servers). From a technical perspective, the internal network of the data center increases the data transmission rate inside the data center by introducing the "Leaf-Spine" network architecture.
At present, 25G optical modules/100G optical modules have achieved large-scale commercial use in data centers, and they are expected to become mainstream application models in the future. From a market perspective, the total capital expenditure of the top 5 Internet service providers in the United States is approximately US$42 billion, which is close to the size of the capital expenditure of the Chinese operator market. Therefore, the demand for 100G optical modules brought about by the new construction and transformation of global data center networks will increase in scale, and the high-speed optical module market will maintain a high boom.
In the 4G network era, optical modules have benefited from operators’ optical network upgrades, cloud computing data center demand explosions, and data center all-optical demand growth trends, especially 10G optical modules, while in the 5G network era, 25G optical modules and 100G optical modules Modules will continue to grow due to application requirements.
