NON-TRADITIONAL ROUTES & RELIABILITY
The Shentel network uses non-traditional routes to major metropolitan, suburban and rural areas in the Midwest and South and Mid-Atlantic. This ensures wireless carriers have more security and redundancy without interruption.
Simply put, backhaul is a connection from the wireless cell tower to the internet.
So, why is cellular backhaul — also known as wireless backhaul — important? Wireless providers are adding more cellular sites to deliver higher capacity and reduced latency while supporting multiple devices. Backhaul is the underlying infrastructure that makes that growth possible by connecting those cell sites to the main data centers that power the internet.
Without a well-constructed network backhaul infrastructure, it will be difficult to future-proof current networks against growing high-bandwidth demands.
A backhaul network is planned carefully according to several factors, including bandwidth and latency, interference potential, reliability, scalability and speed. All of these areas significantly impact traffic and the end-user experience, which is why backhaul is vital to keep connected.
Backhaul solutions are critical to ensure key applications, such as remote education, telehealth and teleworking are fast, secure, reliable and efficient. Fiber backhaul is a crucial component of this infrastructure, providing the necessary capacity and speed to support these applications. Mobile backhaul/fronthaul are critical components to accelerating 5G mobile service deployments.
