Mobile backhaul today is primarily used in 2G and 3G networks, but 17 LTE networks were launched commercially in 2010, and by the end of 2012 we expect to see 64 operators worldwide with residential and business LTE subscribers. LTE will become the single mobile network for mobile phone and mobile broadband, adopted by most of the world in the next 5 to 10 years. By 2015, LTE will likely support 100 million mobile devices and will continue to rapidly gain subscribers from the 2G/3G base. Additionally, there are potentially billions of M2M (machine to machine) devices, such as smart grid, home control, and medical monitoring, for which planners are depending on ubiquitous HSPA+/LTE services. read the whitepaper for further insights.
