![mike-geen-filtronic]( "What Can mmWave Do For 5G Backhaul?")
What Can mmWave Do For 5G Backhaul?The backhaul segment of the network is traditionally made up of the intermediate point-to-point links between the core (or backbone) network and the small subnetworks at the network edge, where the base stations are. Since 5G is aiming for multi-Gbps data rates for subscribers, all this data will need to be backhauled at much higher rates, too.
