Electronics Nuclear engineering Radio over Fiber technology (RoF) is a promising solution to the next generation wireless access network because of its ability to transmit high capacity data and to be cost effective.

description Radio over Fiber technology (RoF) is a promising solution to the next generation wireless access network because of its ability to transmit high capacity data and to be cost effective.
