While the 5G network will rely on countless base stations to connect to mobile devices and fixed wireless broadband routers over the final mile, it will still be reliant on the existing physical fiber optic network to carry that traffic over distance Here in the UK, after much toing and froing, Ofcom set out a regulatory framework for dark fiber usage with its November 2018 Business Connectivity Market Review (BCMR).What is dark fiber? you ask
Modern internet traffic is carried by miles and miles of fast fiber optic cabling that’s been laid in the ground. However, not all of that fiber optic cabling is being utilized.
This unused cabling, which has no electronic devices attached at either end, has been given the moniker dark fibre in reference to its ‘unlit’ state.
