The age old copper-based networks struggle to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving world of digitization due to limited bandwidth capacities and susceptibility to cyber-attacks. This has led to deterioration in the data & service quality, and high operational costs for telecom operators. Additionally, communication networks based on copper cables are not capable of meeting the rapidly exploding bandwidth requirements and are energy inefficient. This has led to deterioration in the data & service quality, and high operational costs for telecom operators.
