Application Analysis of OTN Technology in 5G Transmission Network

With the development of information technology, 5G communication technology has greatly promoted the quality and efficiency of information transmission, and is widely used in many fields. However, the traditional optical transmission network, PTN and other technologies are difficult to perfectly support the bearing requirements of 5G networks such as ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low delay and ultra-high reliability. This paper introduces the technical development of 5G transmission network, analyzes the characteristics and advantages of OTN technology, and analyzes the application of OTN technology in 5G Fronthaul, Midllehaul and Backhaul based on the integrated services and bearing requirements of 5G transmission network.
