The SON Ecosystem by Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies &
Forecasts to 2030
ReportsWeb.com published “The SON Ecosystem Market” from its database. The report covers
the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes
a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
SON (Self-Organizing Network) technology minimizes the lifecycle cost of running a mobile
network by eliminating manual configuration of equipment at the time of deployment, right
through to dynamically optimizing performance and troubleshooting during operation. This can
significantly reduce the cost of the operator’s services, improving the OpEx to revenue ratio.
Amid growing demands for mobile broadband connectivity, mobile operators are keen to
capitalize on SON to minimize rollout delays and operational expenditures associated with their
ongoing LTE and small cell deployments.
Originally targeted for the RAN (Radio Access Network) segment of mobile networks, SON
technology is now also utilized in the mobile core and transport network segments. In addition,
Wi-Fi access point OEMs are beginning to integrate SON features such as plug-and-play
deployment, autonomous performance optimization, self-healing and proactive defense against
unauthorized access.
Despite challenges relating to implementation complexities and multi-vendor interoperability,
SON revenue is expected to grow to more than $5 Billion by the end of 2020, exceeding
conventional mobile network optimization revenue by a significant margin. Furthermore, the
SON ecosystem is increasingly witnessing convergence with other technological innovations such
as Big Data, predictive analytics and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection).
