This Company Might be able to Help with the Rollout of 5G

We are approaching the promised land of 5G. Reports are frequent about the multitudinous benefits of ultra high-speed internet nirvana, which many are predicting will be the great awakening of IoT devices.


But, first, what is 5G? 5G uses higher-frequency bands, called millimeter wave, to send data faster than ever before. Those signals operate on frequencies of 24GHz or higher, compared with the 600MHz to 5.8GHz used for today's 4G.

However, reaching these speeds comes with complications - along with a debate on if Moore's Law is slowing or if we have made it irrelevant - and some of those problems hang on the limitations of fiber optic cables.

While LWLG (which is still pre-revenue at this point) is going to continue to do testing on these polymers, the company already has a 50 GHz modulator for sale.

As 5G materializes, an issue that may come out is that using millimeter waves will require more cells as these waves are more prone to getting blocked due to their smaller wavelengths. So, Lighwave's extremely advanced technology will be appealing to telecom operators who want to move quickly and assuredly to keep promises to customer and the government, which also has a lot banking on the rollout.

Certainly, Lightwave Logic is a long-term heading into a new area of 5G and the impending technical issues that will arise as we maximize our data speeds to those not seen before.
