5G Transport Solutions
What Is 5G Transport?
5G transport is the network infrastructure that connects the 5G radio at the cell tower to the 5G core network. It encompasses a set of fiber‑based and radio wave technologies that enable data to move seamlessly across the network, which forms the fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul transport segments, depending on the chosen 5G architecture.
Why Are 5G Transport Solutions Important?
5G is not just about faster speeds, it’s about enabling entirely new services. To succeed, transport networks must deliver:
• High availability to support mission‑critical applications • Superior performance across fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul
• Operational efficiency to manage rising traffic volumes
• A consistent user experience across diverse use cases 1Finity 5G transport solutions are designed to meet these requirements today while remaining flexible for what comes next.
1Finity 5G Transport Solutions
1Finity delivers an end‑to‑end approach to 5G transport that supports fronthaul, midhaul, backhaul, and edge networking across a wide range of network architectures. This modular architecture allows operators to scale precisely where capacity and performance are needed, without unnecessary overbuild or disruption.
Smart xHaul
The end-to-end 1Finity Smart xHaul solution serves a wide variety of optical xHaul and packet xHaul needs with many options. With a 1Finity solution, you can scale up precisely and rapidly while minimizing disruption and controlling costs.
Optical xHaul
Optical xHaul offers the highest capacity transport for 4G, 5G, and Ethernet services over a single fiber and provides Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and wireline carriers a low-latency, high reliability optical transport option for a high-performance, cost-cutting Centralized and Distributed Radio Access Network (C-RAN/D-RAN) architecture.
Packet xHaul
Packet xHaul solutions provide a low-latency, high reliability packet transport option for a high- performance, cost-cutting Centralized and Distributed Radio Access Network (C-RAN/D-RAN) architecture.
Edge Networking
1Finity edge networking solutions can be used for network slicing to achieve independent services from the same infrastructure. Programmable network elements are needed for integration into the open management and orchestration standards for E2E operation with RAN and MEC elements.
Edge routers
The 1Finity edge routers portfolio includes the IP Infusion™ OcNOS® cell site edge routers and aggregation whitebox routers optimized for edge networking and network slicing in indoor and outdoor form factors.
IP over DWDM
1Finity’s IP-over-DWDM (IPoDWDM) solutions leverage the IP Infusion OcNOS router portfolio and our Ultra Optical System ™ L100-series or passive mux/demux line systems to meet growing capacity demands, address diverse network architectures, and control rising costs.
