NON-TRADITIONAL ROUTES & NETWORK 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 strategic network design ensures wireless carriers and wholesale partners have more network security and enhanced redundancy without interruption of service.

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 to supporting multiple devices. Backhaul is the underlying infrastructure that makes that growth possible by connecting those cell sites to the core data centers that power the internet.

Without a strong and scalable backhaul network, it becomes difficult to handle increasing bandwidth demands or support the performance needs of modern mobile networks.

A well-designed backhaul network must account for critical factors, including bandwidth, latency, interference risk potential, reliability, scalability and speed. All of these elements directly impact traffic performance and the end-user experience, which is why backhaul is vital to keep connected.

Backhaul solutions are critical to ensure critical 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. Additionally, mobile backhaul and fronthaul are critical components to accelerating 5G mobile service deployments.
