Switching to Software Defined Networking (SDN) could reduce the mobile industry's backhaul network expenses by US$9 billion, by dynamically managing traffic and backhaul bandwidth.
Research conducted by Strategy Analytics projects that by 2017, total operating expense (OpEx) savings from SDN in mobile backhaul networks could reach $9 billion globally.
In a new study, Tellabs reveals that OpEx savings from the same 5 applications are more than twice as much as the CapEx savings.
In fact, their report reveals that OpEx savings are forecast to be far greater than CapEx savings every single year between now and 2017, across all 5 applications. According to the August 2013 study, CapEx savings could potentially reach $4.2 billion by 2017. Overall OpEx savings are forecast to reach almost $9 billion, or more than twice the CapEx savings, over the same timeframe.
