Whats Changing?
Whats Changing:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE subscriber and Minutes of use growth UMTS rollouts HSPA and other wireless data services High-speed IP radio overlays Implication: Increasing traffic loads call for additional costly backhaul capacity $$$ Solutions must maximize existing backhaul networks and allow for transition to lower-cost broadband backhaul
