“We’re at the initial stage of the mobile broadband wave with only a few LTE deployments underway. As radio access networks across the globe get upgraded to newer mobile radio technologies like 4G LTE, availability of sufficient backhaul capacity will be a key enabler to customer experience. Our latest report indicates high-capacity optical and microwave deployments will have to maintain a growth curve to deliver the requisite backhaul capacity through 2015,” said Jimmy Yu, Sr, director, Optical and Microwave research, Dell’Oro Group.

The report forecasts the demand for IP-based routers and switches will continue to grow through 2015, almost doubling the market size of the router and switches segment in the five-year forecast period.
