August 19, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Demand for high multilayer PCB products for the production of 400G switches for 5G networks in China is expected to emerge in 2020 when China Mobile starts switching its non-standalone (NSA) 5G networks to SA ones, according to industry sources.
Taiwan-based CCL makers Iteq and Elite Materials (EMC) and PCB suppliers HannStar Board and Gold Circuit Electronics have been developing related products for high-end switches. The number of layers of PCBs for the production of 400G switches will increase to 36, with their prices to be over 60% higher than those for 100G switches.
