The term backhaul is often used in telecommunications and refers to transmitting a signal from a remote site or network to another site, usually a central one. Backhaul usually implies a high-capacity line, meaning high-speed lines capable of transmitting high bandwidth at very fast speeds.

Why do we need backhaul?

Specifically, deploying more sites with higher capacity and reduced latency while supporting multiple services requires backhaul that allows operators to eliminate dependency on fiber availability and feasibility when planning, locating and acquiring new cell sites.

Is backhaul necessary?

Since backhauls are necessary to carriers, they offer discounted rates to entice shippers to book them. And that's where the demand from carriers can help meet your needs as a shipper.
