New vendor data presented in last month’s CEPT SE19 spectrum engineering meeting confirmed the point-to-point microwave links in a large mobile operator's network are operating at 30% or lower utilisation.
Why is this and how can more efficient backhaul can overcome this to improve utilisation and operator profitability?
Four days of cutting edge innovation, industry insight and packed schedules - once again Mobile World Congress lived up to expectations.
For us this year was all about big devices, big processors and big networks to cope with extreme data demands.
Four key themes stood out for us: bigger and quicker devices; the mobile wallet; higher-order modulation; and het-nets and small cell backhaul.
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.
There are many challenges facing the world’s mobile operators, as increasing data capacity expectations continue to drive bandwidth demands of the world’s mobile operators.
These demands have to be met quickly and reliably at low-cost if operators wish to succeed in this ever-competitive marketplace, but this isn’t the only challenge in today’s market.
Increasingly the economic and regulatory pressures that have traditionally set the pace for telecoms advancements have been joined by a new wave of environmental concerns.
