Study Summary
"US Mobile Backhaul: Growth Trends and Analysis 2005" is an assessment of opportunities for wireless technologies within the backhaul space. The study evaluates and quantifies key drivers of mobile backhaul such as base station deployments, wireless gaming, data use, voice minutes, voice subscribers and BWA base stations deployments. In the study the author examines the competing options to wireless including fiber, free space optics, and traditional leased lines and also assesses options within the microwave world such as WiMAX, millimeter wave radios, unlicensed bands and other licensed microwave radio.
Wireless backhaul links are quantified and projected through 2010 and total backhaul capacity per base station is segmented according to capacity in both 2004 and 2010. The report also assesses the key triggers that will drive additional adoption of backhaul.
Questions Addressed
- What will drive additional adoption of wireless backhaul?
- How would competition between carriers impact backhaul?
- Are wireless backhaul services viable?
- How much backhaul capacity do base stations employ today?
- What are future backhaul capacity requirements?
- What role will each technology play in the backhaul market?
- Can wireless compete with fiber?
- Will operators employ unlicensed bands for backhaul?
