As cell sites are rolled out in support of Long Term Evolution (LTE) services, and the increase in mobile data services continues unabated, it is expected that average bandwidth requirements will increase beyond 100 Mb/s per macrocell site. To keep pace with this growth, service providers need an end-to-end architecture — from cell site to core — that supports a variety of network evolution alternatives and service provider deployments. This paper discusses the changes that LTE will bring and examines their impact on mobile transport networks. It also introduces the Alcatel-Lucent Mobile Backhaul Solution and explains how it offers the service intelligence, flexibility, simplicity and costeffectiveness necessary to serve the massive growth in demand for mobile broadband services while continuing to optimize 2G and 3G service delivery.
