Mobile Experts Unveils NHN Revenue Forecast Insights
Mobile Experts charts growth for neutral hosted cellular services
Mobile Experts has recently published a comprehensive report detailing the anticipated revenue growth for Neutral Hosted Networks (NHN) and the associated service revenues concerning public access to cellular networks.
Challenges of Indoor Cellular Coverage
Inside large buildings, cellular signal can falter due to barriers such as concrete and steel that hinders radio waves. Various large venues, including airports and stadiums, have successfully implemented Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to tackle this obstacle, ensuring robust capacity for numerous smartphones, albeit at a notable cost. However, in smaller venues, many owners may hesitate to incur such high expenses for a wireless solution.
Cost-Effective Alternatives for Small Venues
For smaller buildings, alternative solutions like repeaters, small cells (MORAN), and Wi-Fi Passpoint often emerge as more budget-friendly options for enhancing indoor cellular connectivity. An innovative approach utilizing shared RAN combined with a Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) is gaining traction—especially within the dynamic U.S. market—offering a low-cost yet effective way to ensure reliable connectivity.
Market Segmentation and Application
The report emphasizes various vertical markets, including Transportation, Healthcare, Industrial applications, Higher Education, and Office environments, where private cellular systems prove beneficial in enhancing building operations or Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Here, visitors can maintain seamless connectivity with their preferred mobile service providers.
Growth of Managed Services in NHN
The forecast also elaborates on the increasing demand for managed services in neutral-hosted networks, providing essential insights regarding different technology options including DAS, Wi-Fi Passpoint, MORAN, and MOCN.
Expert Insights on Technology Evolution
"The variety of multi-operator technology options for indoor cellular connectivity is expanding and becoming considerably more efficient," remarked Kyung Mun, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. He further noted that when private spectrum is accessible, the MOCN method can deliver cost-effective solutions for operators. The MORAN model also allows for shared usage of a single radio across multiple networks, enhancing cost-efficiency.
Neutral host providers have a diverse array of technology choices and hybrid systems to satisfy the varying cost and performance needs across enterprise sectors. We foresee a trend where investment responsibility shifts from carriers to a rising managed services market within the in-building wireless sector.
Enhanced Access for Subscribers
Those subscribing to the upcoming Neutral Host Provider Outlook will gain exclusive access to a detailed 40-page report. This includes clear technology breakdowns, owner classifications, and geographic forecasts mapped out in an Excel spreadsheet format.
It also provides insights on how services are expected to transition from traditional mobile operators to neutral hosts, along with do-it-yourself opportunities for some enterprises.
