The report stresses that the small cells backhaul solution may prove or brake the small cell business case. Specifics of small cells backhauls, their varieties and differences from macro cells backhauls are analyzed in details. The need for standardization is emphasized. The study of industry trends, interviews with vendors and the analysis of publically available statistical data helped to perform the marketing analysis. The survey of vendors (about 30 manufacturers of small cells backhaul equipment) reflects this industry specifics. There is a range of use cases for open access small cells, from targeted demand hotspots in city centers, through generalized capacity uplift, to serving not-spots in remote rural areas. In each case the emphasis on backhaul requirements shifts, and aspects that are critical to one type of deployment can be relaxed in others. Solutions with different characteristics will address the needs of different types of small cells backhaul in different areas.

2. ABSTRACT
Practel is following the small cell development from the beginning of their
commercialization and contributed several reports on this subject.
This particular report updates previous studies and adds the new information. The
report presents in detail and in easily understandable terms independent, unbiased
analysis, which reflects progress in small cells and their backhauls solutions
developments. Through vendor interviews and the analysis of other multiple data
sources, the report provides latest, accurate marketing and technological information.
In particular, the report provides the analysis of small cells technologies, concentrating
on their advantages, varieties and specifics. Major applications are analyzed and the
standardizations developments are emphasized. Based on the in-depth industry
analysis, which included the analysis of multiple studies and interviews with vendors,
market prognoses (2016-2020) are presented. The survey of more than thirty vendors
and their portfolios are also provided. It is shown that the 4G era (and later the 5G
era) will concentrates on building HetNets in which small cells play an important role.

The report stresses that the small cells backhaul solution may prove or brake the small cell
business case. Specifics of small cells backhauls, their varieties and differences from macro cells
backhauls are analyzed in details. The need for standardization is emphasized. The study of
industry trends, interviews with vendors and the analysis of publically available statistical data
helped to perform the marketing analysis. The survey of vendors (about 30 manufacturers of
small cells backhaul equipment) reflects this industry specifics. There is a range of use cases for
open access small cells, from targeted demand hotspots in city centers, through generalized
capacity uplift, to serving not-spots in remote rural areas. In each case the emphasis on backhaul
requirements shifts, and aspects that are critical to one type of deployment can be relaxed in
others. Solutions with different characteristics will address the needs of different types of small
cells backhaul in different areas.
Microwave backhauls for SCs are prevailing now and it is expected that they will keep this
leadership position in future.
Attachments contain the in-depth analysis of promising small cell backhaul solutions:
1. 60 GHz technologies (V-band). Both Ethernet radio and 802.11ad solutions are addressed.
Marketing and technical specifics are described in details. The survey of vendors is also provided.
2. 802.11ac. The technology allows gigabits throughput, range and other characteristics that
satisfy small cell backhaul requirements. Authors analyzed specifics of 802.11ac as they relate to
the small cell backhaul application; they also analyzed the market and vendor portfolios.
3. E-band radio. Popularity of this radio for discussed applications is growing; and this trend will
be even more pronounced when we are approaching the 5G era.
