Global vRAN (Virtualized Radio Access Network) Ecosystem Market Outlook, Prospect and Future 2030
Summary - A new market study, titled “The vRAN (Virtualized
Radio Access Network) Ecosystem: 2017 – 2030 – Opportunities, Challenges,
Strategies & Forecasts”has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
vRAN (Virtualized Radio
Access Network) refers to a RAN (Radio Access Network) implementation where
some or all baseband functions are separated from the remote radio unit and run
as VNFs (Virtualized Network Functions) on commodity hardware. This approach
results in multiple operational benefits including but not limited to TCO
(Total Cost of Ownership) reduction, performance gains and scalability. In
addition, vRAN enables mobile operators to future-proof their networks for 5G
upgrades.
The vRAN market is presently at a nascent stage with most
investments focused on virtualized small cells for targeted greenfield
deployments and pilot engagements for macrocell coverage. However, as mobile
operators realize the benefits of RAN virtualization, the market is expected to
grow at a CAGR of approximately 125% over the next three year period. By the
end of 2020, SNS Research estimates that vRAN deployments will account for a
market worth $2.6 Billion.
