, 50G pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) optical module and low-cost coherent 100G optical module are typical representatives of 5G forward/intermediate/return network requirements for optical modules. Low cost is the main demand for 5G wireless optical module in industry chain. Specification classification, industry chain sharing, technological innovation and localized substitution are the main means to achieve low cost. The key technology of 5G wireless optical module is mainly embodied in the level of optoelectronic chip. The expansion of function, the increase of speed and the decrease of cost are the main grasps of technological innovation of optoelectronic chip.
The demand of 5G will inject new impetus into the wireless optical module market and further expand the space of this segment market.
In 5G era, low cost will still be the main demand of industry chain for optical module
Technological innovation is the most fundamental way to achieve low cost.
Technological innovation of optoelectronic devices can be embodied in three levels: expansion of functions, increase of speed and decrease of cost.
