Global Radio Over Fiber Market Overview:
Radio over fiber or RoF is the technology of converting radio waves (RF) into light by modulating the intensity of the light source with RF signal. This is an analog process where no digitization is used. Radio over fiber is classified usually in the main two categories such as radio frequency-over-fiber and immediate frequency-over-fiber depending on the frequency range of the radio signal to be transported. There are various benefits of radio over fiber such as it has a very low signal loss that allows for connections of several kilometers, flexible and lightweight for easy deployment, low maintenance, and wide dynamic range. It is used for multiple purposes such as cable television networks and satellite based-stations and mobile radio signals which will significant traction in the forecast period.
