Quality of service is set to be at the top of operator priorities for 2012, but how will they deal with data demands and why is backhaul key to their success?
With the number of smartphone sales set to increase from 342.4m to 439.1m in 2012, we look at the RAN technologies operators will be deploying to cope with this data demand and why selecting a backhaul solution which can cope with the new profile of packet data is essential to success.
During the height of the high-tech bubble, many wouldn’t have guessed developing markets would showcase future technology and innovation.
But when it comes to the telecommunications industry, this trend is appearing.
With the lack of legacy infrastructure and tight regulatory controls, planning and deployment of mobile networks can be very fast in developing markets compared to equivalent networks in developed markets.
This growth is driving innovation, with native companies now rivalling multinationals and in many cases overtaking developed markets in LTE deployment.
A new study from Senza Fili has been published which provides a clear comparison of the key cost drivers across the most widely used backhaul solutions.
New study shows multipoint delivers a 49% cost saving over other forms of backhaulSponsored by CBNL, the 'Crucial economics for mobile data backhaul' white paper presents a financial analysis based on a total cost of ownership model that compares capex and opex of fibre, microwave and E-band PTP, and microwave point-to-multipoint (PMP) backhaul within LTE, 3G, and small-cell networks over a period of five years.
Our new Centre of Excellence in Lagos, Nigeria has officially opened which provides local telecoms engineers with dedicated training and resources to plan and install CBNL microwave transmission equipment and networks.
Students from Comberton Village College have returned from their school exchange programme to Africa with many amazing teaching and cultural experiences.
The CBNL sponsored programme has seen students from a college local to our UK HQ visit schools in South Africa and Mozambique to help teach lessons and get involved in school life.
We catch up with student Martha Hallett-Morley...
