Fronthaul is defined as the fiber-based connection between the baseband unit (BBU) and the remote radio head (RRH) in the RAN infrastructure. Fronthaul has its roots in LTE networks, when carriers first moved radios closer to the antennas. This new link was established to supplement the backhaul connection between the BBU and the central network core. As new 5G use cases roll out, flexible fronthaul configurations have become an important factor in balancing the latency, throughput, and reliability needs of advanced 5G applications. Next-generation RANs are leading to increased fronthaul fiber deployments and a greater reliance on multiplexing, virtualization, and split fronthaul architectures. This makes eCPRI fronthaul one of the most important 5G technologies in the operator survey. VIAVI offers a comprehensive solution for fronthaul performance testing, including fiber link verification, synchronization and timing testing capabilities, and virtual and assurance-based options. This paper mainly studies the 5G fronthaul.
The global 5G Fronthaul market is projected to reach US$ million in 2029, increasing from US$ million in 2022, with the CAGR of % during the period of 2023 to 2029. Influencing issues, such as economy environments, COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War, have led to great market fluctuations in the past few years and are considered comprehensively in the whole 5G Fronthaul market research.
5G is a key and cross-age technology that opens the era of the Internet of Everything, and all countries are grabbing market share. The Global Mobile Economy Development Report 2023 released by GSMA Intelligence pointed out that by the end of 2022, the number of global mobile users would exceed 5.4 billion. The mobile ecosystem supports 16 million jobs directly and 12 million jobs indirectly.
China is a leader in 5G technology. According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China newly added 887,000 5G base stations in 2022 (currently reaching 2.312 million, accounting for more than 60% of the world's total), and 110 cities in China have reached gigabit city construction standard. According to the Digital China Development Report (2022) released by the State Internet Information Office, by the end of 2022, China had built a total of 2.312 million 5G base stations, with 561 million 5G users, accounting for more than 60% of the world.
