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.

Backhaul is one, if not the biggest, challenge to small cell deployments, both in terms of performance and business plan. Many solutions are available, but operators are still debating. What are your views?

Mobile operators have finally come to accept that small cells will be an essential component of their strategy to increase network capacity. As they start planning for small cell deployments, mobile operators have to figure out the business case. And backhaul has become one of the top key issues – and one that is tricky to address.

In the days when voice dominated and traffic loads were easily manageable, mobile backhaul was a boring business. But the massive growth in data traffic driven by smartphone adoption and usage, coupled with more spectrally efficient air interfaces such as HSPA+ or LTE, have added increased pressure on backhaul requirements.
As a result, the backhaul market has become a much more exciting place, with better growth prospects, more innovation driven by more exacting requirements and greater competition. These factors are driving prices to a point that even U.S. operators have taken notice and begun to question their own commitment to optical fiber.
