2G BTS needs only average 1.5M bandwidth. But from UMTS to LTE, the bandwidth of NodeB increase from 6M to 100M. It means the backhaul network with only 2G should be updated to more than 60 times capacity, backhaul network with 2G&UMTS should be updated to more than 15 times capacity.

Unified Backhaul Platform

GSM WCDMA HSPA FMC/LTE

Unified Backhaul Platform

It is a long term for backhaul evolving from 2G to LTE and FMC network. The services of backhaul network change from TDM to ATM, then to IP. Obviously, these services will be definitely coexisting for a long time. Different platforms for different evolution phases take more worry. Carrier-class PWE3/MPLS switch has been the most popular mobile backhaul transport platform technology
