This neutral host report provides an in-depth analysis of next generation neutral host architecture, technology, and potential application areas. The report also discussed the core and RAN elements of neutral host networks along with potential market opportunity, stakeholder analysis, business model, and regulatory analysis.

This Mind Commerce report also evaluates the competitive landscape of the next generation network along with the product and services of selected vendor companies. The report includes market forecasts for next generation neutral host networks from 2023 to 2028. The report also provides specific recommendations for stakeholders.

Select Report Findings:

  • The global neutral hosting market will become a $8.7 billion opportunity by 2028
  • North America will lead the neutral hosting market followed by Asia Pac and Europe
  • Distributed antenna system based neutral hosting networks will critical for public venue deployments
  • Citizens Band Radio Service spectrum establishes the foundation for next generation neutral hosting networks
  • Private wireless networks for enterprise, industrial and government deployments are a major market driver for neutral hosting
  • Neutral hosting environment for private enterprise and industrial solutions will consist of a combination of WiFi6, LTE, and 5G radio equipment
  • DAS-based neutral host solutions will dramatically increase as the demand for serving traffic from multiple MNOs from the same host becomes imperative

Mobile network operators have relied upon distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions for many years to meet the need for indoor traffic in the places where people congregate. This includes stadiums, convention centers, airports, major hotels, shopping malls, enterprise buildings, college campuses, transit systems, and other high traffic venues.

Traditionally MNOs build and operate indoor DAS networks themselves but it is often considered as an expensive mode of deployment and limits the space to deploy the same capacity for multiple MNOs. Neutral host networks are considered an optimal solution to overcome the problem of tackling large traffic in densely populated locations for multiple operators.

Under the neutral host model, a third party builds and operates a single wireless network and hosts multiple MNOs to connect the wireless customers. The third-party host operator initially funds the neutral host deployment that ultimately gets paid by MNOs through a recurring payment system.

The neutral host model also works as an alternative to carrier-deployed WiFi solutions to tackle indoor wireless traffic. The DAS-based neutral host model overcomes the common problems associated with carrier WiFi such as network security, network performance, user mobility, and interference and service degradation associated with unlicensed spectrum.

The neutral hosting market is still relatively new, but it is growing rapidly. A number of major companies are investing in the market, including Nokia, Ericsson, and Huawei. These companies are developing new technologies and solutions that are making neutral hosting more attractive to MNOs and enterprises. Deployment examples include:

  • In the United States, DISH Network is building a nationwide 5G network using neutral hosting. DISH is leasing infrastructure from American Tower Corporation and Crown Castle International.
  • In the United Kingdom, Vodafone and O2 are sharing their 5G infrastructure in some areas. This is being done through a neutral hosting agreement with Cellnex.
  • In China, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom are all using neutral hosting to deploy 5G networks. They are leasing infrastructure from China Tower Corporation.

Mind Commerce sees enterprise clients choosing neutral hosting for private networks for a number of reasons, including reduced costs, increased flexibility, improved performance and faster time to market. Neutral hosting can help enterprises to save money on the capital and operational costs of building and maintaining their own private networks. It also provides access to high-performance network infrastructure and expertise with quick and efficient deployment.
