Backhaul vendors would have us believe that mobile backhaul is all about fiber and microwave, but Yankee Group has seen Tier 1 MNO 4G plans that:
- Include increasing the investment in copper-based backhaul.
- Incorporate millimeter wave.
- Suggest the investigation of point-to-multipoint technologies.
- Reference the possibility of using free space optics.
How are real 4G backhaul networks evolving, and what are some of the more innovative solutions with which MNOs are achieving success?
