Global Wireless and Mobile Backhaul Equipment Market (2009–2014)
The market for wireless and mobile backhaul technology is getting oriented towards providing high data bandwidth and more cost-effective solutions. Besides, the overall growth is also being boosted by the growing popularity of WiMAX-based wireless broadband services with speeds higher than cable internet broadband. WiMAX and other evolving wireless and mobile technologies such as evolution data optimized (EVDO), high speed packet access (HSPA), and long term evolution (LTE) are bandwidth-intensive services that need backhaul technologies to support huge data transmission requirements.
The market, on the whole, is segmented into following sub categories: microwave, TDM & ATM, pseudowire, All-IP RAN, free space optics, satellite. Backhaul technologies play a vital role in enabling wireless and mobile services providers to offer subscribers high quality service while simultaneously increasing average revenue per user (ARPU). Backhaul technology is influenced by various factors such as bandwidth requirements, geographical location of cell site, and local regulations. Remote cell sites that are difficult to connect through physical links use a microwave backhaul to connect to mobile core network. Backhaul architecture consists of either one or a combination of more than one transport mechanisms.
An ideal backhaul technology should: have high capacity and flexibility to support the existing network infrastructure, be able to deliver extensive service provisioning, reduce CAPEX and ongoing OPEX associated with backhauling, and provide a future-proof architecture to address evolving 4G wireless needs. Wireless backhaul technology enables a variety of applications, including cellular backhaul, building-to-building connectivity, and video surveillance backhaul. Cellular backhaul reduces network operation costs by wirelessly connecting cellular towers and transferring data from cell sites to the core network. Building-to-building backhaul connects buildings on campuses and across long distances without trenching fiber. Video surveillance backhaul offers the high throughput required for video applications such as close circuit camera. Broadband connectivity backhaul expands broadband links to remote areas.
Market players are focusing on providing high capacity, scalability, and reliable backhaul solutions to gain a competitive edge in the market. In the next few years, backhaul is expected to play a vital role in gaining new subscribers and retaining existing ones. First mover advantage in providing next generation network services
such as 4G will help operators gain a competitive edge.
The global wireless and mobile backhaul equipment market is segmented into four geographies: The U.S., Europe, Asia, and ROW. The U.S. formed the largest wireless and mobile equipment market in 2007. However, Asia is expected to be the largest market for backhaul equipments by 2014, mainly as Asia is expected to have the highest number of new cell sites deployment in next few years.
