As the world moves towards increasing digitalization, the extent and quality of our interconnections become more and more critical. Everything that we hope will make our lives easier, safer, and healthier will require high-speed, always-on internet connections. Everything right from smart appliances to self-driving cars is the future of connectivity and artificial Intelligence.

5G or Fifth generation of wireless networking technology is expected to change the way people live and work. It’ll be the foundation that will drive the world towards a highly connected future. The benefits of the new technology are expected to fuel transformative new technologies, not just for consumers but also for businesses, infrastructure and defense applications.

5G promises to bring speeds of around 10 gigabits per second to our phones. That's more than 600 times faster than the typical 4G speeds on today’s mobile phones- fast enough to download a 4K high-definition movie in 25 seconds, or to stream several at the same time.

Today, several countries around the world are competing to be the first to deploy fully functional, nationwide 5G. To support them, there are many companies that are vying to be the enablers of large-scale 5G deployments and provide the fastest and most-reliable networks. There is no doubt that the 5G revolution is upon us and HFCL is one of the contenders contributing to this revolution with its innovative products and solutions.

HFCL’s optical fiber and optical fiber cable range is compatible to tomorrow’s 5G requirements. HFCL’s new innovations for the cabling solutions include next-gen low diameter micro cables, micro module cables that offer mid span accessibility and densely populated high-fiber-count cables (greater than 1728 fibers/cable) for maximum data transmission with better space optimization.

HFCL is also investing heavily in Research and Development to develop further new products that will enable HFCL to provide comprehensive cabling solution for the 5G revolution. More than 20 types of cables across various application categories have been developed in the last year alone and several more are in the pipeline that will be developed in the coming financial year. Apart from capital expenditure, HFCL has also been busy in shoring up its talent pipeline to prepare for the future.

Connectivity is the future and HFCL is a pioneer to power the world towards a connected tomorrow.
