Global Self-organizing Networks Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 5:03AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lv6xrv/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Self-organizing Networks Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering. There are several factors driving the growth of the Global SONs market, one of which is the increasing demand for broadband services. In recent years, the Telecom industry has witnessed a surge in data-driven services, a trend that is likely to continue during the forecast period. Such services require higher bandwidth, greater speed, and better coverage. LTE has been recognized as the most efficient mobile technology to cater to the increase in data services, since base stations of different specifications can be deployed to cover and process RF signals in cells as well as in blind spots for these services. At present, fixed-line broadband does not have a considerable presence in developing countries such as India, mainly because of the high cost of the related infrastructure. Consequently, the option of mobile broadband is attractive in such countries. It is expected that there will be rapid adoption of mobile broadband access in both developed and emerging markets during the forecast period. In recent years, the increase in mobile wireless data has been particularly high in emerging countries. Broadband accessibility through mobile devices is now a high priority for people in these countries. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the spectrum fragmentation. With the influx of several operators in the market and the costly spectrum, the frequency bands have been fragmented in order to accommodate several technologies and telecom operators. This is a major challenge for the LTE technology, which requires large bandwidth for operations. Depending on factors such as cost and bandwidth, the operators around the world will adopt the technology. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Alcatel-Lucent SA - Ericsson AB - Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. - Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy - ZTE Corp. Other companies mentioned in the report are: - Amdocs Inc - Aircom International Ltd - Airhop Communications Inc - Aricent Group - Ascom Network Testing Ltd - Astellia SA - Celcite Management Solutions LLC - Celtro Communication Ltd. - Centri Technology Inc - Cisco Systems Inc - Eden Rock Communications LLC - Infovista SA - InterDigital Inc - JDSU Corp. - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. - Teoco Corp - Xceed Technologies Inc. For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lv6xrv/global
Global LTE Metrocells Market Opportunities & Forecasts, 2018: Market to Nearly Double with a CAGR of 93%
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 4:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3xkgw2/global_lte) has announced the addition of the "Global LTE Metrocells Market Opportunities & Forecasts, 2018: Market to Nearly Double with a CAGR of 93%" report to their offering. The Global LTE Metrocells market to grow at a CAGR of 93.68 percent over the period 2013-2018 Although LTE is witnessing a number of rollouts in the Americas and the EMEA region, the technology is yet to be embraced in the APAC region, especially by India and China. The world's largest telecom markets, by subscriber, are still in the planning phase of adopting LTE networks. The delay of deployment in China can be explained by the delay in the spectrum allocation and operators' strategy adoption of either of the two LTE types. On the other hand, operators in the Indian Telecom industry are embroiled in a number of legal, positional, and operations issues, distracting them from adopting the most efficient data technology. However, once the plans materialize, which is expected to be in the forecast period, the two large markets will project huge growth for the LTE Infrastructure market. Likewise, the other emerging markets will also have large-scale adoption, as LTE matures and becomes time tested for such markets. Additionally, factors such as the economic slowdown were looming over the Global LTE Infrastructure market, delaying purchases of the equipment. Given the high level of competition and reduction in average revenue per user, operators are expected to invest heavily in the market to retain their competitive edge. According to the report, LTE can be regarded as both market- and product-driven. In some markets, the technology is fostered by the rising demand for enhanced features; in others, operators want to recover their 3G costs. Based on these factors, the number of LTE subscriptions globally is expected to grow exponentially during the forecast period. Further, the report states that interference with macrocell networks is the key challenge to overcome in the Global LTE Metrocells market during 2013-2018. The weaving of femtocell equipment on the backdrop of the existing cellular macrocell network can result in interference between the two coverage networks, leading to poor quality of communication. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Alcatel-Lucent SA - Ericsson AB - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. Other companies mentioned in the report are: - Airspan Networks Inc - Amdocs Inc - Cisco Systems Inc - Connectem Inc - Ip.access Ltd - NEC Corp.
