In this webinar, Yankee Group analyst Jennifer Pigg discusses the mobile backhaul solutions operators are deploying today and the emerging strategies for tomorrow.

With worldwide mobile backhaul connections increasing from 5 to 10 Mbps in 2009 to 50 Mbps by 2012, mobile operators, network equipment vendors and others must implement new strategies to cope with the influx. Fiber, copper, microwave, millimeter wave—each backhaul medium has its own advantages and limitations in terms of availability, cost to deploy, operational cost, speed/distance and regulatory considerations. What is the right strategy for today’s 3G and emerging 4G ecosystem, and is there any hope of leveraging today’s backhaul assets for three (let alone five) years?

Earlier today, I hosted a webinar that examined the mobile backhaul solutions operators are deploying today and the emerging strategies for tomorrow. the turn-out was terrific and so were the questions. Take a listen to the replay below.

The webinar runs about an hour: audio (mp3) and slides (pdf).
