Mobile Backhauling & Fixed Convergence

Operators’ strategy to scale the mobile backhaul networks (LTE/LTE-A and 5G) and the fixed networks (DSL, FTTH/FTTC) are directly impacted by the high capacity data consumption that grows exponentially. This increased capacity demand, heavily affects the whole network infrastructure. Furthermore Mobile operators are investing to penetrate the fix access market to complement their service portfolio, either by offering a fixed wireless access (FWA) solution, or by acquiring a fixed (copper/fibre) access network, all to equalize their offering with the incumbent operators.
Many operators are preparing their backhaul network to satisfy 5G requirements, by creating new architectural models, by streamlining the operational efficiency and by homologating and including in their processes the new 5G enabling technologies, from millimetre wave radio link to SDN.
Microwave radio is foreseen to keep a key role in 5G backhauling as it did in previous mobile generations, thanks to the giant technology leaps done to satisfy the new requirement on top of the advantages that wireless transport offers that remain unmatched by other technologies

Mobile Backhaul Network Applications


MPLS backhauling in LTE-A
MPLS backhauling in LTE-A  

LTE-Advanced introduces new key features to mitigate interferences, maximize radio performances and boost user capacity. All of these features have specific requirements that are reflected into the backhauling network. The introduction of MPLS layer3 microwave radio systems provMPPide a good solution for backhauling and the enablement of these new features.

5G Backhaul
5G Backhaul  

In the vision of 5G deployment for a “hyper-connected” network, operators are targeting a blend of new and existing technologies to allow unprecedented coverage and availability. In the definition of 5G requirements, among the different capabilities (as shown in the figure, expressed by IMT-2020 - ITU-R M.2083-0) we found defining elements that could be transposed to the underlying transport network. These can be used to characterize the transport network of the future. Operators have identified four macro groups:

  • Network Functions;
  • Platform Completeness;
  • Product Performances;
  • Software Defined Solution.
