I read with interest John Tanner’s piece in Telecom Asia 'Putting the Back in Backhaul’ not because I was quoted in it, but rather because of the uniformity of the comment from the other contributors. It would seem that many vendors are still taking backhaul solutions to the market that only contribute to the customers needs in a single dimension: i.e. capex, basic connectivity, speed of deployment.
The Backhaul conundrum exists today because network planners and equipment vendors did not bring imaginative new architectures to backhaul projects. I don’t see much on the horizon that is going to change that.
