5G Drives Transport Protocols

Enhanced Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) and Optical Transport Network (OTN) topped the list of most important 5G transport technologies in a survey conducted by Heavy Reading.

The eCPRI protocol was developed specifically to meet the bandwidth and performance requirements for 5G fronthaul, so it is difficult to imagine 5G fronthaul without eCPRI, many would argue. 

OTN ranked high across all geographies, which many will take as a proxy for wavelength-division multiplexing.
