How Will 5g Change The Wire Line Architecture That Currently Supports 4g Mobile Backhaul?

Answer»

That will depend on MNO’s rollout patterns, how MANY users are on the network, and what LIMITS they’ll set on speeds. Today MNOs typically feed a 1 Gb/s Ethernet line to a 4G cell sites, of which an average of 200-300 Mb/s is being used. With 5G, that same macro tower may need 10’s to 100’s of gaps, which will REQUIRE an enormous capacity upgrades to those towers.
