The global mobile fronthaul market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Mobile fronthaul refer to the movement of data and speech from a cell site remote radio head (RRH) to a centralised baseband unit (BBU), which subsequently links to the mobile telephone switching office. Mobile Fronthaul is the optical line that connect the BBU to various RRHs. Providers can use optical transport network (OTN) technology to transport data from cell sites to BBUs once they have a mobile fronthaul network in place. Mobile fronthaul allows all network equipment to be used to its full potential. Mobile fronthaul technology collects information on each connection and link, such as BER and uplink and downlink delays. 

The deployment of 4G and 5G mobile networks and the growth of the smartphone market are key drivers for the global mobile fronthaul market. The transition from traditional technologies to mobile fronthaul technology allows companies to reduce deployment and maintenance costs. The mobile fronthaul market is constrained by a lack of expertise and the complexity of access network architecture. There are numerous obstacles to overcome to maintain the mobile fronthaul industry growing at a high rate in the future. One of the opportunities in this field is the rapidly growing lower-middle classes in developing countries such as India and China. The major issue will be a lack of infrastructure, either established or underdeveloped. Several hours of power outages occur every day in several rural and semi-urban areas of India and China. This, in turn, is restraining the growth of the market.
