FS Fiber Solution: Powering 5G in Healthcare

The latest 5G cellular technology, equipped with specialized radios designed for indoor coverage, can offer healthcare facilities connectivity solutions such as remote surgeries conducted with precision robotics. This article focuses on FS fiber solutions for healthcare, explaining the reasons why 5G fiber connections are important in healthcare and how FS fiber optic solutions solve connectivity difficulties.

Why Healthcare Requires Optical Fiber 5G Networks?

Improving patient outcomes through a superior connected experience is the main reason push healthcare to upgrade to 5G fiber networks. Before introducing 5G technology, restricted by networks' ability to manage massive volumes of data for remote disease monitoring or real-time telemedicine, hospitals and practitioners could not obtain the real-time data required to improve patient and preventive care and make more timely healthcare choices.

The upgraded 5G fiber networks are the solutions. They provide faster speeds, reduced latency, higher connection density, and the ability to ensure data quality, because fiber optic cabling is now the only network infrastructure solution capable of supporting data rates of 50/100/400G that 5G requires while copper connections can not. Leveraging 5G fiber optic deployments, healthcare applications tend to be promising. Optical fiber 5G network can assist clinicians in simulating more complicated medical situations, helping medical freshers and residents learn to care for patients safely. With the higher bandwidth and intelligent network, telemedicine can be enabled on mobile devices. Paramedics can transmit pictures, data, and comprehensive information about patients, which helps prepare physicians for treatment via 5G technology. Similarly, high-quality video connections may enable paramedics to administer emergency care or examine and diagnose patients at the scene with the help of an online professional.

FS Fiber Optic Solution: Powering 5G in Healthcare

As healthcare industries ramp up network transformation activities to prepare for 5G, they may face complexity cabling during the evolution. They are:

Need copper and fiber mixed cabling to connect different equipment. This is the most frequent complexity that healthcare may encounter which results from the necessity of rapid development of 5G technology. Copper offers significant advantages in short-distance connections in data centers, and fiber optic cabling excels in long-distance connections and scenarios requiring high speeds. This has driven users to a mixed infrastructure approach. FS fiber optic solution is to provide versatile FHD® cabling portfolios. All the fiber panels, cassettes and multimedia panels adopt modular designs, and allow free combination for different cabling demands. For example, FHD® 6-Port multimedia panel can accommodate Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a copper inline couplers or LC/SC fiber optic adapters simultaneously according to actual needs. All copper and fiber cabling are managed organized on the racks for better tracing and quicker connecting. FS FHD® fiber optic cabling products streamline cabling, meaning there’s less construction interference of 5G fiber network upgrade, which is always difficult in a 24/7 environment like healthcare facilities.

Want to ensure people in healthcare can get bandwidth with great QoS even at cell boundaries. Optical fiber 5G networks give improved responsiveness, allowing physicians to get rapid, high-quality medical data, such as imaging images no matter where they are in the coverage. This requires bandwidth to be delivered at the network edge, as close as possible to subscribers. To make this possible, FS has introduced wall mount, Din-rail and rack cabling products so that technicians can select the suitable method based on the field. Even at the boundaries, fiber patch cables can be managed via wall mount fiber enclosures. In addition, FS also provides DWDM systems that enable the fiber to leverage different wavelengths so that multiple signals can be transferred over a single strand of fiber. As a result, optical fiber 5G networks will experience better mobile coverage, faster speeds, and more reliable networks with little to no lag.

Additionally, FS has practices in high speed cabling cases. FS has empowered an Australian wireless communication network operator wireless communication operators to provide excellent network experience upgrade from 4G to 5G (see more here). With FS rich product line of fiber optics, optimized FHD® free combinations for cabling, quality network equipment like 400/800G switches and accessories, and expert support, FS is the natural choice to help healthcare succeed in 5G networks.
