According to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report, 5G subscriptions will more than double from 2024 to 2029, with mobile data traffic forecast to exceed 230 exabytes monthly by 2029. Exponential data demands, along with use cases like generative AI, machine learning (ML), and augmented reality (AR), will drive infrastructure upgrades. With its faster data transfer and improved connectivity, integration of 5G advanced technology will further boost network performance, intelligence, and sustainability.

“As a Mobile Optical Pluggable Alliance ( MOPA) founding member, Semtech works closely with the world’s telecom leaders and mobile operators to develop the right optical solutions that solve industry challenges,” said Raza Khan, product marketing director for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group and chief marketing officer of MOPA. “Our Tri-Edge solutions for bidirectional and CWDM optical pluggables are a direct result of these collaborations. Enabling the next round of infrastructure upgrades over single fiber will give carriers greater cost-effectiveness, flexibility and scalability to advance global mobile networks.”

“Optical pluggable innovations like Semtech’s move the industry towards the high performance and latency needed for global mobile networks to become the digital backbone of society and industry 4.0,” said Stefan Dahlfort, chairman and president of the board of MOPA.
