C-RAN is a centralized, cloud computing-based architecture for RAN that enables large-scale deployment, collaborative radio technology support, and real-time virtualization capabilities. It is an evolution of the current wireless communication system and uses the latest common public radio interface (CPRI) standard, coarse or dense wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM/DWDM) technology, and millimeter wave (MM wave) transmission for long-distance signals. Also, C-RAN is significant in the future progression of wireless technology, such as 5G and the IoT. With easier deployment and scaling capability, the transition from LTE to 5G networks will rely heavily on C-RAN development. It also provides a cost-effective, manageable solution for supporting more users.
Rise in the need for energy-efficient and cost-effective networking solutions and the surge in the proliferation of 5G network technologies are driving the growth of the market. In addition, the rapid rise in bandwidth demand is fueling the growth of the C-RAN market. However, the necessity for a high capacity fronthaul limits the growth of this market. Conversely, growing numbers of internet users across global and a surge in the growth of network connectivity to implement IoT are anticipated to provide numerous opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period.
The global C-RAN market is segmented into component, network type, deployment, end-user, and region. Depending on the component, the market is divided into solution and services. Based on network type, it is categorized into 2G&3G, 4G, and 5G. By Deployment, it is divided into indoor and outdoor. Based on end-user, it is bifurcated into telecom operators and enterprises. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The global C-RAN market is dominated by key players such as Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Inc., Fujitsu Limited, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Intel Corporation, NEC CORPORATION, Nokia Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Ericsson, and ZTE Corporation. These players have adopted various strategies to increase their market penetration and strengthen their position in the industry.
