As more and more mobile operators offer commercial long-term evolution (LTE) services, mobile users are demanding higher quality of services (QoS.) One way for LTE operators to respond is by installing smart functionality in their mobile backhaul networks.
Smart mobile backhaul is not just about the efficient transport of traffic. It covers a wide variety of services ranging from small cell aggregation to terabit routing. An efficient solution must be up to the task of gathering data, securing the network, and synchronizing backhauling processes on its own.
Network operators can use tools to automate routine tasks and save on operational expenses. These automated networks are important in small cell deployments and similar mass network rollouts. By creating a self-organizing network that automatically deals with routine tasks, operators can spend all their energies on business-critical functions.
Ease and simplicity of operations and management are paramount for smart mobile backhaul networks. They require network manager tools to best direct its evolution and growth.
Compatibility is another important issue for networks. A mobile backhaul network must be able to support both legacy 2G/3G standards and the new 4G standard. It should also be able to smoothly transition to LTE and LTE-A standards while allowing users to continue accessing its services.
