Glo Fiber’s backhaul, dark fiber, wavelength and Ethernet services help carriers meet network demand, advancing their networks and expanding their service territories. Glo Fiber’s robust network spans over 16,000 miles throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. We power the network with services that are only possible with the virtually unlimited speed and capability that comes from a purely optical network.

All four major national carriers rely on Glo Fiber Business’ fiber network to get to 5G sooner.

NON-TRADITIONAL ROUTES & RELIABILITY

The Glo Fiber 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. Mobile backhaul/fronthaul are critical components to accelerating 5G mobile service deployments.
