"The
HetNet Ecosystem (Small Cells, Carrier Wi-Fi, C-RAN & DAS): 2017
- 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts"
The Report covers current Industries Trends, Worldwide Analysis,
Global Forecast, Review, Share, Size, Growth, Effect.
Description-
Driven
by in-building wireless coverage requirements and the growing influx
of mobile data traffic, a conventional macrocell based cellular
network deployment is not deemed to be a sufficient solution to
address the coverage and capacity needs of today’s wireless
subscribers.
Mobile operators are thus increasing their
investments in Heterogeneous Network or HetNet infrastructure such as
strategically deployed small cells, carrier Wi-Fi and DAS
(Distributed Antenna Systems), to cope with growing capacity and
coverage requirements. Adding further to the heterogeneity is the
shift towards a C-RAN (Centralized RAN) architecture, which
centralizes baseband functionality to be shared across a large number
of distributed radio nodes. In comparison to standalone clusters of
base stations, C-RAN provides significant performance and economic
benefits such as baseband pooling, enhanced coordination between
cells, virtualization, network extensibility and energy efficiency.
Driven
by the thriving ecosystem, we expect small cell, carrier Wi-Fi, C-RAN
and DAS investments to account for nearly $13 Billion by the end of
2017. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% between
2017 and 2020, as mobile operators remain committed to tackle the
continued growth of mobile data traffic and evolving coverage
requirements.
The “HetNet Ecosystem (Small Cells, Carrier
Wi-Fi, C-RAN & DAS): 2017 – 2030 – Opportunities, Challenges,
Strategies & Forecasts” report presents an in-depth assessment
of the HetNet ecosystem including enabling technologies, key trends,
market drivers, challenges, standardization, regulatory landscape,
deployment models, use cases, vertical markets, operator case
studies, opportunities, future roadmap, value chain, ecosystem player
profiles and strategies. The report also presents forecasts for
HetNet infrastructure investments from 2017 till 2030. The forecasts
cover 6 individual submarkets and 6 regions.
The report comes with an associated Excel
datasheet suite covering quantitative data from all numeric forecasts
presented in the report.
** Key Findings:
– The report has
the following key findings:
SNS Research
estimates that global infrastructure investments on small cells,
carrier Wi-Fi, C-RAN and DAS will reach nearly $13 Billion by the
end of 2017, as mobile operators remain committed to tackle the
continued growth of mobile data traffic and evolving coverage
requirements
Small cell and
C-RAN solutions are beginning to converge as small cell OEMs seek to
capitalize on the benefits of centralized coordination for
in-building and enterprise coverage
Despite opposition
from the Wi-Fi community, unlicensed LTE small cell shipments are
beginning to gain traction, with shipment revenues potentially
reaching $220 Million by the end of 2020
The vendor ecosystem is gradually
consolidating with several prominent acquisitions such as Nokia’s
acquisition of French rival Alcatel-Lucent and CommScope’s
acquisition of small cell specialist Airvana
