We report the implementation of an innovative hybrid 5G system integrating analog radio-over-fiber (A-RoF), free-space optics (FSO), and visible light communications (VLC) technologies within the C-RAN architecture. Power-over-fiber (PoF) technology plays a key role in successfully powering a VLC LED and electrical amplifier.
