Broadband Backhaul: the necessary link for a successful 3G/4G strategy.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Mobilitie (www.mobilitie.com) founded in 2004, has quickly become the fastest growing owner and operator of wireless and telecommunications infrastructure assets in the United States. Mobilitie has published an article addressing the need for wireless carriers to consider alternative solutions to traditional T1 lines to carry traffic for a successful 3G/4G strategy.

Their article, Broadband Backhaul, the necessary link for a successful 3G/4G strategy (http://www.mobilitie.com/Promotion/BroadbandBackhaul.htm), was written by Gene Beall discusses how wireless carriers are at a turning point in the evolution of their networks. For years, operators have been trying to entice subscribers to add data subscriptions to make up for waning voice revenues resulting from the ever increasing use of by the bucket-minute calling plans. These efforts are finally beginning to impact networks in a significant way. Today, data revenues account for more than 25% of average revenue per user (ARPU) for the nation's top three carriers. There is no sign consumer demand for these services are slowing down. This success is also creating additional stress on carriers' networks, which were built to handle voice communications, not data applications.

As next-generation networks are built to handle the surging demand for data-intensive devices and applications, wireless carriers must consider alternative solutions to traditional T1 lines to carry traffic back to the switch. Fiber and microwave based backhaul solutions have the capacity to carry the load. Smart carriers will evaluate both technologies to best meet their needs in each market.
