Global Mobile Backhaul 2010: World by Region 2G, 3G and 4G Challenges

Visant Strategies, Inc, November 2009, Pages: 67

“Global Mobile Backhaul 2010: World by Region 2G, 3G and 4G Challenges” is an assessment of the global mobile backhaul market. The analysis considers key backhaul trends such as the migration to IP and higher capacity air interfaces and drivers for additional mobile backhaul including carrier migration to 3G, 3.5G, and 4G and the rapid subscriber growth throughout emerging markets.

It considers the challenges that carriers and equipment vendors will face as they seek to meet these needs and it juxtaposes the various technologies that will be employed to do so such as copper, fiber, and wireless platforms.

The study evaluates both voice-centric and data/voice mobile markets throughout the world and how each region of the world is forecasted to follow different mobile paths. A regional accounting for the roll out of GSM/GPRS, EDGE and EDGE Evolution, WCDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, HSPA plus, EV-DO Rev B and LTE is given through 2015, with an analysis of each region citing which air interfaces will be used by carriers and how this will affect backhaul needs in the mobile networks.

Tables quantify leading mobile backhaul indicators including total base station deployments by region and generation and all wireless subscribers as well as 3G and 3.5G/4G subscribers. Also provided are PTP microwave shipments for backhaul and shipments of upper millimeter PTP links, which, as explained in the report, will realize an increasing use for high capacity wireless backhaul links. Total backhaul links to base stations are broken down by capacity for each major region. Total global BSC/RNC and MSC deployments are given and typical ratios of switching apparatus (BSC/RNC) and MSCs to base stations are also provided for each region.
