Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei and Cisco Get Top Marks From Operators in Infonetics Mobile Backhaul Wireline SurveyCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its recent Mobile Backhaul Wireline Equipment Vendor Leadership: Global Service Provider Survey, which explores operators' perceptions of mobile backhaul wireline equipment suppliers and includes carriers' rankings of small cell backhaul equipment manufacturers. ANALYST NOTE "Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei (News - Alert), and Cisco have been the leaders in mobile backhaul router revenue market share for the past several years, and in our latest mobile backhaul survey, they're also our operator respondents' top picks for wireline mobile backhaul equipment supplier, besting the rest of the field in all 11 of the criteria that service providers use to select vendors," notes Michael Howard, co-founder and principal analyst, carrier networks, at Infonetics Research. "In the case of Alcatel-Lucent (News - Alert) and Huawei, this is no doubt due to their status as 'full service' RAN and mobile backhaul suppliers," adds Richard Webb, Infonetics' directing analyst for mobile backhaul and small cells.
