Changing pattern of investment in Radio Access
● Conventional macro/
micro tailing off quickly
*Rethink Technology Research: Carrier Survey 2011. Investment in basestations (excluding backhaul, cellsites)
97% of wireless network
traffic today is data
– Hutchison 3UK
● Small Cell (Pico/Metro)
investment will be largest
share by 2015
● Metrocell most rapidly
growing type

“4 Small Cells to 1 Macrocell is a
good ratio in dense urban LTE
environments”
- Hauwei (at LTE LATAM 2012)
“In 2011, US Wireless carriers
allocated roughly two-thirds of
their spend on OCx [50Mbps] &
higher bandwidth circuits”
- Atlantic-ACM (Analyst)

Cost Pressures
Network
Sharing
3rd Party
Leased Lines
Avoid backhaul bottlenecks
Avoid overbuild
Track 3rd party costs
Knowledge to make best decisions
Long term strategic planning

Quality
High Network
Resilience
Rapid Outage
Resolution
Timing &
Sync
View current/future network structure
Assess impact of planned/unplanned outages
“Quality in a product or
service is not what the
supplier puts in. It is what
the customer gets out and
is willing to pay for.”
- Peter F Drucker

Backhaul Planning Capabilities
Information Security Level 2 – Sensitive

In-Stat predict
3 million small
cells by 2015
● Scale to large volumes
● Up to 10x number of cellsites in high traffic urban areas
● Many more backhaul links, including 3rd party
Backhaul
growing as
proportion of
RAN cost
● Cost requires capacity management
● Backhaul planning independent of cellsite capacity
● Strategic view of hubs/spoke, wireless/wireline
● Cater for priority traffic profile
Deploy a small
cell in 1 hour ● Speed of deployment
● Fast & flexible incremental small cell deployment
● Introduce new products & technologies quickly

Backhaul Operational Capabilities
● Filter out the noise
● Suppress alarms from planned/non-commissioned equipment
● Understand when alternate routes can be used
● Rapid Impact Analysis
● Determine scope of outage in seconds, not hours
● Identify partial vs full outages
● Visibility
● Of who did what, when and why
● Current and planned network configuration

But today’s tools/processes aren’t suitable
● Often spreadsheets, Visio diagrams
● Poor data quality – planners don’t know
what’s there today
● At best, current view only – no idea
what’s coming next

Knowledge is key
● Technical Inventory
● Physical equipment and logical connectivity/routing
● Current and future upgrade plans
● Configurable/futureproof to handle new technologies/products
● Automated design processes
● Automated design process for new/upgraded cellsites/transmission
● Unambiguous design instructions for staff and direct configuration
● Widely accessible but tightly controlled
● Web browser access by all engineering staff
● Open APIs to interwork/access via other applications
● Secure sign-on with read/write privileges by region and/or role
