"Routers are the best technology for aggregating, transporting, and parsing large volumes of traffic, and we expect network operators to increasingly upgrade backhaul networks with routers to support super-fast mobile services based on LTE and HSPA+ technologies," said Shin Umeda, Vice President of Routers research at Dell'Oro Group. "North America has been the hot market for mobile backhaul over the past 18 months, but we expect the trend to expand globally over the next five years," added Umeda.
