AAU optical module bandwidth

AAU optical module bandwidth

AAU optical modules in 5G networks typically support 25 Gbps per channel, with some dual-rate modules supporting both 10G and 25G for flexible deployment.Bandwidth and InterfaceModern 5G AAUs use optical modules to connect to Distributed Units (DUs) via the fronthaul network. The standard bandwidth for these modules is 25 Gbps, primarily using the eCPRI interface, which replaces the older 100 Gbps CPRI links used in 4G networks . Some optical modules are dual-rate, supporting both 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps, allowing backward compatibility with 4G services while enabling high-speed 5G transmission .Wavelength and Module TypesAAU optical modules often operate in the 1270–1370 nm wavelength range, and can be deployed as single-rate 25G modules or 10G/25G dual-rate modules. In high-bandwidth 5G base stations, multiple modules are used per sector to handle increased traffic, with up to 12 colored optical modules for dense urban deployments .Deployment ConsiderationsFronthaul Requirements: 5G fronthaul demands low latency (
