And good timing, too, says Infonetics Research in its latest report, Mobile Backhaul Equipment, Installed Base, and Services, because mobile operators are feeling the pain of expensive mobile backhaul costs, having shelled out $19.5 billion to wireline service providers in 2006 alone. “To handle all the voice, video, and data traffic created by the 2.5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide, operators are spending like crazy for more bandwidth,” said Michael Howard, principal analyst of Infonetics Research. “On the bright side, they’ll get a lot more for their money in the future with next gen equipment like microwave and IP/Ethernet, which can handle 2G/3G voice simultaneously with 2.5G/3G/3.5G data and video traffic streams, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional wireline backhaul using PDH leased lines (and ATM over PDH),” Howard added. ”These improvements will allow mobile operators to slowly increase their capital investment while rapidly adding more subscribers and higher capacity services.” As noted at Infonetics’ New Options for Mobile Backhaul conference at the CTIA Wireless 2007 show last week in Orlando, some operators are already testing and trialing Ethernet backhaul, and major Ethernet deployments are expected to begin by late 2007 and will be in full swing by 2008. Report Highlights Worldwide mobile cell site backhaul equipment grew 13% to $3.9 billion between 2005 and 2006 and is forecast to grow to $6.0 billion by 2010 Worldwide mobile backhaul installed cell site connections grew 24% 2.3 million in 2006, and will grow strongly through 2010 Microwave radio makes up 80% of total mobile backhaul equipment sales and 54% of total connections in 2006 The cost per mobile backhaul connection for leased lines PDH and ATM over PDH is about two and a half times that of new wireline connections (Ethernet, DSL, cable, PON), now and in 2010 Ethernet makes up just 1% of total mobile backhaul equipment revenue in 2006, but is forecast to soar to $2.5 billion by 2010, at which time it will represent 41% of the market EMEA--with Europe, Middle East, and Africa all contributing--accounts for 43% of worldwide mobile cell site backhaul equipment revenue in 2006; Asia Pacific accounts for 30%, CALA 21%, and North America 6% Infonetics’ mobile backhaul report tracks the competitive landscape, trends, and growth areas of the mobile backhaul market, from the cell site BTS/NodeB to the BSC/RNC. The report provides worldwide and regional market size and forecasts for mobile backhaul equipment, connections, and service charges for PDH, ATM, Ethernet, SONET/SDH, DSL, PON, coax cable, microwave, WiMAX, and satellite.

    7. MEF Mobile Backhaul Work Work Groups, Scope and Timeline RanRan

    8. Technical workgroup scope and deliveries RanRan

    9. Technical Project Timeline 07 Q1 – Present project proposal to Technical Committee (TC) 07 Q2 – Use case specifications for Implementation agreement (IA) 07 Q3 – Initial draft of implementation agreement Industry Survey Launch 07 Q4 – Approved draft, first straw ballot on implementation agreement 08 Q4 – Letter ballot of IA (might be earlier) RanRan

    10. New Terms for Mobile Backhaul Services RAN CE – generic term for mobile radio access network node or site; may depict both RAN NC & RAN BS nodes RAN NC – a RAN network controller or network controller site RAN BS – a RAN base station or base station site RAN I/F – a non-Ethernet based interface between a RAN CE and GIWF GIWF – Generic Inter-working Function; enables a RAN CE with a RAN I/F to connect to a UNI PeterPeter

    13. WiMAX Backhaul: from BST to MSC

    14. Initial Rollouts of WiMAX Use of outsourcing model to increase coverage of pilot trials Allows multiple simultaneous market launches Mostly using a hybrid wireless+fiber approach Usually involves two or more carriers Typically involves numerous technologies from BST to MSC (TDM, ATM, MPLS/Pseudowires) and will continue so for a long while. Always involves a multitude of different vendors. With WiMAX backhaul, only one thing is common from BST to MSC: it’s IP packets on an Ethernet connector at both ends.

    15. Why are SLAs important for WiMAX Backhaul? Since VoIP is a main driver for Mobile WiMAX, SLAs are paramount when outsourcing WiMAX backhaul. End-users have come to tolerate a lesser voice quality on Mobile phones vs traditional Land lines. End-users have come to tolerate a lesser voice quality on VoIP vs traditional analog POTS. End-users will not tolerate an excessive combined voice degradation due to doing VoIP over Mobile WiMAX. Since the outsourced backhaul provider is usually a Layer 2 service provider, he shall then use Layer 2 SLA parameters (i.e. Ethernet SLA parameters) applied 24/7 on live traffic.

    18. What is Ethernet over PDH (EoPDH)? PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) Term to collectively refer to T1/E1 and T3/E3 circuits EoPDH enables Ethernet-based service delivery over copper/PDH access networks Both E-Line (site-to-site) and E-LAN (multi-site) services Ethernet Access to IP services (Internet Access, IP VPNs, VoIP) Bandwidth Options (technology dependent) Up to 12Mbps (8 bonded T1s) or 24Mbps (16 bonded T1s) Up to 16Mbps (8 bonded E1s) or 32Mbps (16 bonded E1s) Up to 32Mbps (1 E3) Up to 45Mbps (1 T3)

    19. What technologies are used do deliver EoPDH ? Two ‘competing’ technologies MLPPP/BCP-based EoPDH (RFC1990 / RFC3518) for encapsulation, bonding and bridging GFP/VCAT/LCAS-based EoPDH (G.8040) GFP (G.7040) for encapsulation, VCAT (G.7041) and LCAS (G.7042) for bonding CPE device support MLPPP/BCP-based EoPDH supported on most CPE WAN routers and IADs GFP-based EoPDH supported on new types of CPE devices

    20. How does it work? Ethernet Frames enter EoPDH CLE device and encapsulated Into PPP or GFP for transport over PDH network PTT multiplexes E1s into channelized STMn circuits or Microwave Backhaul provider transports E1 data E1s or channelized STMn circuits terminated on EoPDH edge aggregation device E1s extracted from channelized STMn circuits PPP or GFP sessions terminated and Ethernet Frames are reconstructed Each cell site RAN Ethernet frames mapped to S-VLANs (EVC) To preserve each cell site RAN’s C-VLAN IDs and 802.1p CoS markings S-VLAN-tagged Ethernet frame (EVC) to Mobile Switching Center or Switching Hub MSC provides connection to Internet. Switching Hub aggregates Ethernet traffic

    21. Why EoPDH for Mobile Backhaul? Enables mobile operators to backhaul and aggregate data services over a Carrier Ethernet infrastructure Natural evolution of current SDH-based aggregation network to support high growth IP-centric applications Internet access, VoIP and IP VPNs over WiMAX or GSM RANs Can terminate PDH circuits at hub sites enabling more efficient (lower OpEx) transport of IP services Enables subscriber data service aggregation and oversubscription over Carrier Ethernet transport network between switching hubs
