The Economics of Gigabit 4G Mobile Backhaul - Sponsored Whitepaper

As 4G capabilities are added to today’s urban 2G/3G networks or are rolled out as green-field deployments, cell site backhaul and aggregation network requirements will rise from the tens and hundreds of megabits/second into the gigabits/second of capacity range. Examine how low cell-site fiber penetration rates, coupled with often prohibitive costs of new fiber lateral deployment, will drive the adoption of "wireless fiber" 80 GHz backhaul solutions, as a technology upgrade for both copper and microwave backhaul solutions.
