Mobile Backhaul with Microwave Transmission Equipment Grew 9 Percent in 2021, According to Dell’Oro Group

According to a new report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, Microwave Transmission equipment revenue from mobile backhaul grew 9 percent in 2021. The vendor with the most market share in this application was Huawei followed by Ericsson, Nokia, and Ceragon.

“Demand for microwave equipment was very robust in 2021,” stated Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “However, with the component shortage, there lacked sufficient supply to keep up with the growing demand. As a result, many microwave vendors were unable to fulfill their orders by the end of the year and had to push off delivery into 2022. We estimate that had there been enough supply, the total Microwave Transmission market would have grown one percent higher,” added Yu.
