Mobile backhaul is intrinsically complex
Mobile backhaul has to support technologies like circuit switching to carry 2G/3G voice as well as packet-based technologies and topologies to transport data. Today’s mobile networks are heavily data-centric and as demand grows for real-time services and the streaming and downloading of video, network operators are increasingly migrating to an ethernet-base IP backhaul. Ethernet is compelling on economic and network scalability grounds and because it can carry both frequency and time synchronisation – which is essential to transporting a diverse traffic mix.
Soaring demand for broadband data services
4G/LTE-A is being rolled out to deliver more bandwidth within the limited frequency spectrum, reduce latency and improve seamless roaming. However, to enable the expected high quality of service, 4G/LTE-A base stations need highly accurate time and phase synchronisation to ensure smooth handovers between neighbouring cells.
Clock synchronisation
The inability to maintain clock synchronisation under heavy traffic loading increases the chances of failed call setups, failed handover, data re-transmission (the culprit responsible slow downloads and uploads). In essence, the user’s network experience is poor.

“Timing and performance of today’s ethernet networks depends on proving overall synchronisation quality and on probing the underlying packet-layer and physical layer timing mechanisms”
