There is a near universal consensus among mobile operators that small cells allow operators to use their existing and new spectrum assets more intensely by increasing the capacity density but there are still many areas of uncertainty. And backhaul may be the biggest one.

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.

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.
