The growth in mobile data usage is likely to continue, and that will be a windfall for mobile backhaul equipment makers, according to a new report by Infonetics Research.

Revenue is set to increase substantially over the next five years. The transition from TDM to IP/Ethernet backhaul networks will continue, and likely will be a goldmine for equipment makers as carriers try and handle the increased data traffic on their networks.
