Mobile network operators (MNOs) must address key question when it comes to designing and deploying next-generation transport networks. They need infrastructure able to support their existing 4G macro cells as well as new 5G cells. Technology must be selected that enables massive MIMO deployments for both 4G and 5G, as well as synchronization and phase alignment for FDD and TDD. And costs must be kept to a minimum through transport network sharing.

Depending on the technology used, network operators need to tackle challenges around mobile backhaul, fronthaul, midhaul and X-Haul. Strategically investing in fiber will be key for MNOs, with microwave and mmWave radio deployed only where needed. An essential requirement will be ensuring infrastructure has the flexibility to scale to meet growing data traffic demands while keeping options open for future innovation.
