The document discusses network evolution towards centralization and densification using SDN/NFV and C-RAN architectures. It notes that 20% of networks will be centralized by 2020. Mobile fronthaul requirements for capacity and latency are challenging due to the "fiber gap". Both wireless and fiber fronthaul solutions are needed to complement each other for network deployment. The combination of Infinera's optical fronthaul and EBlink's wireless fronthaul have demonstrated end-to-end mobile fronthaul performance. Embedded fronthaul technologies are strategic for equipment vendors and hundreds of operators going forward.
