High Speed Technologies For Mobile Backhaul

Microwave links have been the obvious mobile backhauling choice for many operators, and microwave solutions are likely to remain very important. New, high-speed link technologies in the form of microwave with more than 1Gbps capacity, plus fiber and bonded DSL, are recommended in an all-IP Radio Access Network (RAN) over a carrier Ethernet network optimized for data traffic. Microwave links have been the obvious mobile backhauling choice for many operators, and microwave solutions are likely to remain very important components of future mobile backhaul solutions. These solutions are also being enhanced to meet the requirements of full-scale HSPA and LTE network deployments and service take-up.
