Why Latency Matters to Mobile Backhaul Mobile Industry Landscape The Mobile industry is changing rapidly, as it evolves from 2G to 3G and on to 4G networks. This evolution is driven by the need to provide better performance in three main areas: − Provide subscribers with higher data rates − Support a wider variety of end user applications − Reduce the latency of the mobile network Increasing sales of 3G smartphones, USB modems, tablets and PCs with built in wireless radios is pushing data traffic on mobile networks to record levels. While email, social networks and Internet browsing are very popular among nomadic users, the deployment of mobile broadband services has the biggest impact on network traffic. In rural areas, mobile networks are often the only way to support applications historically delivered over copper based networks. Video streaming is a major contributor to the boost in traffic, with the success of Internet services such as YouTube and DailyMotion. The latest Cisco Visual Networking Index forecasts unprecedented global mobility demand. Figure 1 – Mobile Data Growth www.o3bnetworks.com 3
