According to a new study published by ABI Research, wireless companies are continuing investment in backhaul technologies despite the current state of the economy, as operators gear up for deployment of LTE networks. In fact, ABI is predicting a fivefold revenue increase between 2009 and 2014.
Backhaul is the bottleneck that can prevent a satisfactory user experience. As the amount of data that crosses an operator’s network increases, backhaul will become an increasingly critical component to network management.
Senior ABI analyst Nadine Manjaro is quoted as saying, “Operators might not deploy LTE immediately, but they know that before they do, they’ll have to upgrade their backhaul capacity.”
