Fiber isn't everything: Microwave's critical role in
North American backhaul
Thank you for joining us at this FierceLive! Webinar. We will begin
momentarily. The audio will be streamed live over the Internet, so please make sure
your computer speakers or headphones are turned on and your
volume is turned up.
During the presentations, you can submit your questions by filling in
the Ask a Question box at the bottom of this screen. The speakers

LTE's impact on backhaul requirements
Mobile network backhaul
requirements areincreasing dramatically
Average Moving to ~
150Mbps per site in the
next 5 years, 450
500Mbps in heavily
congested areas.

Initial deployments for LTE are being supported by cell-site backhaul capacity in the
range of 10150Mbps high areas will grow up to 300 Mbps

Backhaul media options for LTE
Copper has low cost but has capacity and reach limitations
Fiber is preferred due to its reliability and nearly limited scalability howeverdeployment costs are high and sometime prohibitive
Microwave provides low cost option quickly deployable option that meetsfuture LTE capacity requirements
