Mobile Backhaul Transport Market to Return to Growth in 2019, According to Dell’Oro Group

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 31, 2018 -- According to a newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, the Mobile Backhaul Transport market is forecast to return to growth in 2019, driven by ramp of small cells and rollout of 5G mobile radio networks. E/V Band is expected to advance the Microwave Transmission market over the next five years.

“Demand for E/V Band radio transceivers is expected to be a bright spot over the forecast period,” said Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “We forecast shipments to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32 percent for a number of reasons, including: the average price premium for E/V Band systems is now only about 30 percent compared to a High Capacity system; the frequencies used in E/V Band radios are license-free – or light-licensed – in a number of countries, allowing for lower licensing costs than standard microwave frequencies; and future 5G cell sites will require an even higher amount of Backhaul capacity that E/V Band radios can handle,” Yu explained.

Highlights from the Microwave Transmission & Mobile Backhaul 5-Year Forecast Report:

• We forecast the Mobile Backhaul Transport market to grow at a five-year CAGR of three percent.
• Fiber/Copper and Wireless revenues are expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of six percent and one percent, respectively.
• We expect Fiber/Copper will make up 70 percent of the backhaul links shipped in 2022, due to the relatively high share of Small Cell Backhaul links.
