The report analyzes and
presents an overview of “
The C-RAN (Centralized Radio Access Network) Ecosystem: 2016 - 2030 -
Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts ”
worldwide.
Centralized
RAN or C-RAN is
an architectural shift in RAN (Radio Access Network) design, where
the bulk of baseband processing is centralized and aggregated for 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, smaller
deployment footprint and reduced power consumption.
Although
Japan and South Korea continue to spearhead commercial C-RAN
investments, interest is also growing in other parts of the world.
Mobile operators such as China Mobile, Orange, Verizon and Sprint are
already investing in the technology.
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:
Expected
to surpass $7 Billion in global spending by the end of 2016, C-RAN is
increasingly becoming the preferred approach to deploy future mobile
networks for both macro and small cell coverage. The market is
further expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 20% between 2016 and
2020.
To
alleviate stringent fronthaul requirements, an increasing number of
C-RAN solutions are now utilizing RRHs with baseband capabilities,
allowing some intelligence (primarily Layer 1 and Layer 2) to be
distributed among RRHs, with Layer 3 functionality residing at
centralized BBUs.
The
ongoing 5G race is expected to significantly boost C-RAN investments
over the coming years. SNS Research estimates that over $1 Billion of
all C-RAN architecture network investments will be directed towards
5G networks by the end of 2020.
At
present, most virtualized Cloud RAN investments are limited to trials
and demonstrations. However, by the end of 2020, we expect that
virtualized BBUs will account for over 6% of all C-RAN BBU
investments.
