Ethernet A Must For Mobile Backhaul

Mobile network providers have to move to Ethernet to cope with the growing demand for high bandwidth mobile IT services, according to the Metro Ethernet Forum.
The growing adoption of 3G services, and the wide scale rollout of new 4G technologies, means that the need for significant amounts of network support capacity at the back end is only going to accelerate.



Recent research from Infonetics predicts that Ethernet backhaul, be it over copper, fibre or microwave, will add over a million new or converted connections between 2009 and 2011 worldwide.
