Global RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) Market to reach USD 752.5 million by 2025.

Global RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) Market valued approximately USD 279.1 million in 2016 is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11.65% over the forecast period 2017-2025. Rapidly growing entertainment industry, increasing use of mobile phones and other cellular communication after innovations of fast internet technology like long term evolution 5G are driving the growth of Global RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) Market. Increasing market of cable television networks, and the growing demand for high-speed cellular connectivity because of the increasing use of smartphones, the growing use of internet worldwide, increasing military applications like improvement in communication are the factors that are rising deployment of RF over fiber products. The Radio Frequency over Fiber is a technology which is used to transmit radio frequency over a fiber network. By using the RFoF, a large bandwidth can be modulated so it supports a greater number of users as compared to regular wireless technology. The RFoF technology consists of RF signal and fiber optic link, and this can be used to send wireless signal in outdoor ranges. RFoF technology has numerous advantages over other coaxial cable like low signal losses, hence RF signal transmission over a long distance using fiber optic network is possible with no need of signal amplification. The RFoF has an attractive property that Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) has almost negligible effect in optical fiber communications. This feature of fiber optic communication, has made it suitable for transmitting microwaves. RFoF have many good features, but the cost of installation of RFoF such as antenna and other broadcasting products depends various factors such as the distance and frequency range, and therefore the overall installation cost of RFoF varies as per requirement. This is the factor that hinder the growth of the Global RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) Market.
