Report: Network Slicing
Leaves Operators Vulnerable
To Breaches
Backhaul is the backbone of the wireless network and demand for backhaul
throughput con nues to grow. Increased traffic is straining capacity and
spectrum availability, with interlink interference becoming more common.
Even a minor backhaul problem—signal interference, network disrup on—
can have a major impact on customer sa sfac on.
To handle the increased demand and traffic, mobile operators are expanding
their networks by increasing density with more cells in a given area,
increasing capacity at exis ng sites, and expanding networks to provide
service to those living in or traveling through remote "zero-coverage" areas.
Regardless of which strategy is followed, the cell sites must be connected
to the rest of the network via backhaul—and microwave backhaul antennas
offer the most cost-effec ve solu on. Quick and inexpensive to deploy,
microwave technology offers the capacity to connect individual or small
numbers of aggregated sites back to the core fiber network.
Denser networks require many microwave links that must operate without
interference, and must be able to reuse limited spectrum repeatedly.
Increased site capacity puts higher traffic demands on backhaul, with higher
modula on schemes calling for high-performance antennas that offer
protec on from interference, and wider radio channels that make spectrum
reuse essen al.
Building new towers to expand coverage to remote communi es is rela vely
easy; the issue is backhaul, and—since fiber deployment is cost-prohibi ve
in these areas—the only solu on is microwave.
