 Mobile Backhaul Analysis: Global Trends and Opportunities
Revenue, CAPEX and OPEX for T1/E1, Microwave, Ethernet over Copper, Ethernet over Fiber, and CATV
T1/E1 is still the dominant cellular backhaul technology in 2007. However, as backhaul capacity requirements increases and operators focus on cost reduction, the backhaul technology mix will change. By 2012, microwave is expected to be the dominant backhaul technology in 4 of the 6 regions studied. Ethernet-based solutions will become in developed markets alongside existing copper and fiber infrastructure. Cost reduction and reliability will be the key factors for backhaul network migration.
This study is a comprehensive examination of the global mobile backhaul market, offering insight into current and future opportunities and trends. It provides market segmented data to show the commonalities and differences by regions and technologies.
