Heterogeneous networks

In the previous conversation, we talked about small-cell backhaul in Europe. In the last one, we looked at the US. The latest conversation is with Pete Gelbman at Clearwire about wireless backhaul and the trials he lead on different technologies.

The answer to this question is easy: We need both small cells and Wi-Fi to fit all the traffic generated by smartphone, tablets and laptops. But what is the respective role of Wi-Fi offload and small cells?

Following up on our recent report on small-cell backhaul, we have recorded a few conversations on this topic. The first one is with Andy Sutton, Principal Network Architect of Everything Everywhere, the UK operator that offers service through the Orange and T-Mobile brands.

Backhaul is crucial to the small-cell business case. Without high-capacity, ultra-compact, low-cost backhaul, the small-cell market will struggle to grow.
Backhaul for small cells requires more than just re-purposing existing backhaul solutions. This is a new market for backhaul vendors – a big opportunity but also a big challenge as they strive to meet a very different set requirements from what they are used to in the macro-cellular environment.

The brand new Small Cell World Summit (used to be the Femtocell World Summit) will be in a few week's time in London - I will be there and look forward to seeing you there if you plan to attend (you can get a 10% discount with the SCWSSENZ code). The program is impressive and it is a nice chance to catch up with many small-cell aficionados.

Increase in capacity - and especially capacity density, i.e., capacity per sqmile - is the main driver to LTE rollouts. But to fully benefit from LTE performance (and ability to use a frequency reuse of 1), operators need to carefully manage interference to minimize its impact.

Could mobile operators planning to move to fiber backhaul meet their backhaul requirements in the short term and save money, by deploying wireless backhaul first and move to fiber later? Our model shows that over 10 years, operators can save up to 27% when deploying wireless first, and building a fiber network later.
