Microwave Transmission & Mobile Backhaul 5-Year Forecasts

Dell’Oro Group publishes Microwave Transmission & Mobile Backhaul 5-year forecasts offering a complete overview of the market with historical data from 2009 to the present. In this report, we have combined two inter-related market forecasts: Mobile Backhaul Transport and Microwave Transmission.

Mobile Backhaul Transport includes forecasts for two technologies that are commonly used for mobile backhaul: fiber/copper and wireless. Fiber/copper includes optical transport equipment, such as multiservice multiplexers, and access equipment, such as DSL/PON. Wireless includes point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint equipment.

Microwave Transmission includes a forecast for three point-to-point systems: TDM Microwave, Packet Microwave, and Hybrid Microwave. It also includes a forecast by system configuration: full indoor unit (FIDU), full outdoor unit (FODU), and split-mount. The Microwave Transmission forecast covers all applications using microwave for transport, including mobile backhaul, which alone drives approximately 70 percent of the Microwave Transmission market’s revenues.

The forecasts provide a comprehensive overview of market trends and include tables covering revenue, shipments, average selling price, and regional forecasts for various technologies:

Mobile Backhaul (Macro Cell and Small Cell)
Fiber/Copper and Wireless
TDM, Packet, and Hybrid Microwave
We also forecast:

Full indoor and outdoor units
E/V Band systems
