TechNavio today launched its report, Global Macrocell Mobile Backhaul Equipment Market 2012-2016, based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Telecom team said: ”One of the major trends witnessed in the Global Macrocell Mobile Backhaul Equipment market is the increased adoption of IP/Ethernet technology. Time-division Multiplexing (TDM) backhaul technology was highly popular and widely adopted in mobile 2G technologies such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Edge, and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). However, the market is witnessing strong demand for and adoption of 4G technologies such as LTE and WiMAX. IP backhaul is the preferred technology for 4G as it facilitates higher bandwidth at low cost. It is also highly flexible and it supports convenient convergence of mobile backhaul with network applications, thus leading to higher adoption.”
According to the report, the main factor which is driving the demand for macrocell mobile backhaul is increasing demand for increased network scalability and flexibility. The market is witnessing a significant increase in data services compared to voice services, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years. The packet-switched network, which was commonly used until recently, was less suitable for the latest data services. It is crucial for networks to be able to support high-bandwidth data traffic, and this can be attained through the deployment of mobile backhaul. This is because mobile backhaul provides improved scalability to networks, thereby helping network operators efficiently manage the surge in data traffic.
Further, the report reveals that one of the main challenges faced by mobile network operators is reduced profits due to the increasing demand for data services.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
