4. Key Market Opportunity
A major opportunity in the Quartz Fiber Market is the expansion of quartz fibre composite radome adoption in 5G mmWave outdoor antenna infrastructure as 5G network infrastructure deployment requires outdoor antenna enclosure radomes providing low-loss millimetre wave electromagnetic. A significant proportion of current outdoor antenna enclosure radomes use E-glass fibre reinforced polyester composite with dielectric loss tangent above 0.01 that is adequate for sub-6-gigahertz 5G and 4G antenna but generates unacceptable insertion loss above 3 dB. Quartz fibre composite radome with loss tangent below 0.0002 at 28 gigahertz provides 5G mmWave outdoor antenna with insertion loss below 0.3 dB enabling 5G mmWave link budget margin for urban macro cell deployment range targets. Quartz fibre producers that develop cost-optimised radome-grade quartz fabric and prepreg at 5G infrastructure volume scale, complete radome enclosure qualification with 5G antenna system integrators, and build antenna radome manufacturer supply relationships are positioned to capture growing 5G.
