Backhaul (return) business despite being some attention, but still not reached a desired high.
On awareness of the importance Backhaul business has yet to be strengthened, although the reports have been quite a proliferation of WiMax, but also remain in the spectrum, Xu
Permit, maturity, participants, and the possession of patents and so on. Chinese operators, fixed operators, particularly in the CDMA450 license case has been delayed, can bypass try Backhaul? In Guangdong and north, more and more large-scale WiMax testing already under way, such as the characteristics of effective use of Backhaul performance, fixed operators, or inferior carriers (such as China Unicom, China Railcom) is completely possible to achieve considerable business opportunities.
Mobile operators, Backhaul is also a good opportunity to directly use the existing base stations to provide T1, E1 services to help mobile operators and fixed operators to further access the market to compete in the enterprise. While the reality is concerned, mobile operators have long been pulled from the enterprise fiber directly to the base station, either explicitly or implicitly make the enterprise market, but still face policy constraints faced at any time possible.
Competition aside talk about the purpose and existing networks. Starting from Backhaul itself, WiMax is not the greatest potential value of the so-called "substitution effect on ADSL", I think some colleagues come to this conclusion, at least in terms of cost, speed, coverage and necessity does not exist on the edge The only mobile edge, for families, is not critical.
Contrast, WiMax, and Backhaul, is some beauty. First, the control is still limited in China, the policy is acquiescence; second, completely in line with policy needs as part of the project villages to do, especially after the addition of Backhaul, WiMax will allow small and medium rural the generosity of businesses have access to capacity, in villages and township enterprises in both the orientation of the two Governments to please; third, fixed operators can be cut into WiMax as a mobile data service in advance (rather than the PHS telephone business) opportunities; Fourthly, it is the common interest of all operators, that the challenges ahead TD in the spectrum, so the risk is certainly higher, but rather as if rallied, then the result will be that law is not responsible for the people.
Conversely, if China does not follow Backhaul, the end result will be an empty or without the use of the WiMax network and, ultimately, similar to the large well-informed voice terminal market, or their right hand pump each other, really WiMax confrontation with ADSL, so to no point.
