Wireless Backhaul 2005: Worldwide Market Opportunities in Cellular Markets
Pioneer Consulting, July 2005, Pages: 73
Backhaul is the network component that connects the subscriber access section of the network with its core switching and management elements. It accounts for about one-fifth of the overall mobile network cost. As predicted in our 2003 report, microwave technologies, such as LMDS and MMDS, which were initially positioned as a last mile access solution, have become more widely accepted as middle mile solutions in the mobile wireless industry.
By popular demand, we have updated this report which investigates the adoption of wireless backhaul in cellular markets in order to evaluate and predict the market opportunity for wireless backhaul solutions during 2004-10. Key issues addressed in this report include:
- How do the economics of WBH compare to wireline technologies?
- Do WBH technologies provide sufficient levels of reliability?
- What are the optimal deployment strategies for WBH?
- Where is the breakeven point for investment in Point-to-Multipoint (PMP), as opposed to Point-to-Point?
The report comprises three core sections: Technology Overview, Market Overview and Market Opportunity Forecasts through 2010.
Competing backhaul technologies are compared in terms of their performance characteristics and in terms of their capital and operating costs. The wireless backhaul market is then discussed in the context of the drivers and constraints on demand. Finally, the report provides forecasts of demand for wireless backhaul technology in key regions of the world in terms of units deployed and revenue:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Latin America
- ME & Africa
The results of this analysis provide a clear indication of the trends in wireless backhaul penetration worldwide, as well as the prospects for newer competing technologies, such as PMP and Wi-Max.
