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.
