With the advent of 5G and wireless fiber networks, backhaul technology has completely changed the way we experience communication. In numerous locations, internet hiccups and buffering have vanished. For seamless network connectivity, efficient control over bandwidth, latency, and network traffic is still essential

Backhaul is the process of transmitting data
between an access network and a core network.
It makes data communication possible by
connecting distributed networks like cell towers
and Wi-Fi hotspots to the central network
infrastructure.

Backhaul carries large volumes of data from the edge of
the network or sub-networks to the central
infrastructure, where it’s processed, analyzed, and
further distributed to regional networks and the end
users.
Think of the access network as the base station or cell
site that connects end devices such as smartphone to
the web. The core network stores and directs the data to
other sub-networks. Everything that connects the
access network to the core network is backhaul.
How does backhaul work?
