BACKHAUL/PTP
RESEARCH
Global
Mobile Backhaul (Code: 1109) 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. PTP Microwave 2010
(Code 1009) The report considers mobile backhaul, trunking, enterprise, public safety, last mile and broadcast applications in depth and provides shipments and revenues for each market segment through 2015. The report also offers a detailed assessment of the largest and most lucrative PTP Microwave Radio market, mobile wireless backhaul. Given is a detailed assessment of mobile technologies, wireless subscriber usage patterns, infrastructure deployments and backhaul needs, present and future, including the migration to 3.5G/4G mobile platforms. Tables are provided through 2015 for mobile subscribers, 3.5G/4G mobile subscribers, all base stations and 3.5/4G base station deployments and deployments of mobile wireless network elements that will also become an important factor in mobile backhaul demands rising greatly during the study period. World deployments of collector points, BSCs/RNCs and MSCs are given as are the affect each component will have on mobile wireless backhaul demands. "PTP MICROWAVE 2010: The World Market for PTP Microwave Radio: 2009 to 2015" also details how voice-centric mobile wireless networks will also spur backhaul demands and, in turn, PTP Microwave Radio sales. PTP Microwave product attributes are also considered including capacity, SDR features and IP/Ethernet and TDM support. Tables quantify product trends through 2015 providing breakdown of the total point-to-point microwave shipments and revenues by capacity, operating frequency and transport mode (TDM, mixed mode, IP/Ethernet). Regional trends and forecasts are also provided through 2015 and vendor market share and the respective strategy assessments are also included in the report. US
Mobile
Backhaul 2010 (Code 1009-B) The report provides coverage of the United States mobile and wireless infrastructure markets including technology choices and subscriber trends such as the migration to 3.5G/4G, the use of mixed IP and TDM traffic, femtocells and the growth in data ARPU levels. Specific backhaul drivers that are considered and quantified include base station deployments, tower construction, capital spending, network evolution to 3.5G and 4G platforms (HSPA, mobile WiMAX, EV-DO and LTE) and subscribers. A detailed discussion is presented on the backhaul bottlenecks of the present and the future and the challenges that mobile operators face now and will need to address in the future pertaining to backhaul needs in the mobile network. The report also offers forecasts through 2015 for total backhaul service revenues, edge of network backhaul service fees, average backhaul per month per base station and total wireless network operating expenses. Backhaul lines in the United States are also quantified by capacity per base station, type of service such as Ethernet or TDM/mixed and whether backhaul is achieved via wireless or wireline. Backhaul by PTP microwave, copper, coax, fiber, satellite or free space optics is also quantified through 2015. Total towers in use and capacity per tower are also quantified as are deployments of 3.5G/4G base stations and MSC, BSC/RNC sites and collector points. US
Mobile
Backhaul 2011: Cable joins Copper, Fiber and Microwave (Code 0510-B) Particular strategic and technical strengths of cable operators and cable MSO plant that may translate into success in the US mobile wireless backhaul service market are detailed. The study also explains and enumerates drivers and inflection points that are now making mobile wireless backhaul an attractive opportunity for cable operators. An analysis of the US backhaul market is given along with the success of the use of other technologies such as fiber, microwave and copper links. Driving trends in the mobile wireless and backhaul markets such as the overall growth of wireless subscribers, 3.5G and 4G subscribers, data device use, base stations per tower as well as base station, middle-of-network elements and tower deployments are detailed. Also analyzed are 3.5G and 4G base station deployments and capital expenditures as well as future trends in voice minutes, data ARPU and overall ARPU and the migration to 3.5G and 4G. Figures are provided through year-end 2015 for cable operator mobile backhaul service revenues, base stations deployed and connected to backhaul by cable operators and the technology choice used to backhaul the base stations. In addition, the study also provides the number of backhaul links cable operators could provision for middle-of-the-network elements such as RNCs, BSCs and LTE Gateways and the annual and monthly revenues earned from providing backhaul to these mobile wireless middle network links. Existing and future backhaul capacities per base station by generation and per cell site are quantified through 2015 as are mobile wireless carrier network and backhaul operating expenditures. |
