Alcatel introduced comprehensive backhaul portfolio

With a total value of $44 billion, the backhaul market is seeing robust growth as well as increased competition as global data traffic surges. Mobile operators have been looking for ways to meet the growing traffic, and Alcatel-Lucent is optimistic their new, comprehensive backhaul portfolio will be the perfect solution for mobile operators. The Paris-based global telecommunications company has unveiled new products which combine technologies such as macro and micro cells, and pico cells which can be installed on any convenient structure to deliver Wi-Fi services. Mobile operators expect traffic demands to grow up to ten times, and Alcatel is offering their products to help decongest high traffic areas. These new products are introduced across three categories: backhaul over microwave, backhaul over fibre, and copper. The expanded backhaul solutions include the IightRadio: a base station technology which can be deployed either as picocells or stacked as micro or macro cells. According to Alcatel, the new products will allow mobile operators to manage their networks more efficiently, and address the massive demand for bandwidth.
