Racing to 6G: Why Optical Standardization Matters Now

Tuesday, September 23, 2025, 12:00 PM ET Sponsors: Ericsson, Semtech, Nokia

Mobile networks are the backbone of modern society, and as we transition from 5G to 5G Advanced and ultimately to 6G, the optical infrastructure supporting these networks becomes increasingly critical—and increasingly profitable. This webinar explores how next-generation mobile network architectures—spanning radio sites to RAN compute sites—create unprecedented demands for optical fiber connectivity while delivering substantial economic returns through improved OpEx efficiency.

Join industry experts from Ericsson, Nokia and Semtech as we examine the real economics of 5G-Advanced deployments, where upgrading to 50Gbps optical connectivity today and scaling to 100Gbps is not just a technical necessity but a financial game-changer for carriers. Through concrete examples of cost savings and revenue generation, we’ll demonstrate why standardized optical pluggable solutions are essential for this evolution and how the MOPA Alliance is driving the standardization efforts that will enable both 6G’s technical success and carriers’ financial performance.
