Drivers for Mid-Market Fixed Wireless Access

A lack of uniform and widely available broadband Internet services keeps dial-up phone services a reality for many parts of the world. If sufficient and adequate telecommunications networks were in place, dial-up Internet access would no longer remain. India, Brazil and Russia are examples of countries dominated by dial-up users. Low-cost broadband wireless CPE is necessary to overcome the dearth of wired infrastructure and address entry-level price-points.

Developing countries are introducing Internet access on portable and mobile devices where the installed base of PCs is limited. All this pressure on access in more places for broadband Internet data is driving the need for high-speed, IP backhaul. Interviews with network operators suggest they are well aware of the changes that must occur towards the core of their network, though many have not taken action. Growth in broadband wireless network backhaul will occur, however our research suggests that it is still a guessing game when the major capacity increase expenditures will be triggered.
