NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the 5G era, the demand for data is reaching new highs. Annual data traffic from the top 30 countries monitored by ABI Research is forecast to grow from almost 1,100 exabytes in 2022 to over 4,000 exabytes in 2027 (at a CAGR of 30%), with 5G making up ~60% of total data traffic in 2027. With the higher data throughputs and lower latencies required by 5G networks, backhaul or transport solutions must also adapt to meet the increased requirements needed by 5G technology. While fiber-optic remains a preferred choice for 5G backhaul, wireless backhaul technology is still seen as a key component in many 5G networks due to its lower deployment costs and ability to be deployed in areas where fiber deployment is difficult, as well as its capacity to handle 5G backhaul requirements. Additionally, wireless backhaul deployments can also be used to complement fiber backhaul deployments by providing increased resiliency. According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, the total number of cellular base stations (including both macro and small cells) using wireless backhaul links will increase from 6.3 million in 2022 to 7.6 million in 2027 (at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4%), with E-band growing rapidly from almost 400,000 links in 2022 to 2.5 million links in 2027 (at a CAGR of 44%).

Key Points: 
  • With the higher data throughputs and lower latencies required by 5G networks, backhaul or transport solutions must also adapt to meet the increased requirements needed by 5G technology.
  • Additionally, wireless backhaul deployments can also be used to complement fiber backhaul deployments by providing increased resiliency.
  • "With the improving capabilities of various wireless backhaul technologies, there is strong growth potential for wireless backhaul industry.
  • Based on extensive primary interviews, Application Analysis reports present in-depth analysis on key market trends and factors for a specific technology.
