Summary of the Report The term Wireless
Network Infrastructure has conventionally been
associated with macrocell RAN (Radio Access
Network) and mobile core network infrastructure.
However, the scope of the term is expanding as
wireless carriers increase their investments in
Heterogeneous Network or HetNet infrastructure
such as small cells, carrier WiFi and DAS
(Distributed Antenna System) nodes, to cope with
increasing capacity and coverage
requirements.   In addition, wireless carriers
are keen to shift towards a C-RAN (Centralized
RAN) architecture, which centralizes baseband
functionality to be shared across a large number
of distributed radio nodes. In comparison to
standalone clusters of base stations, C-RAN
provides significant performance and economic
benefits such as baseband pooling, enhanced
coordination between cells, virtualization,
network extensibility and energy efficiency.

Despite an ongoing decline in traditional
macrocell RAN spending, the wider wireless
network infrastructure market encompassing
macrocell RAN, small cells, C-RAN, RRH, DAS,
mobile core, backhaul and fronthaul
infrastructure will continue to witness growth
over the coming years. By the end of 2020, the
market is expected to account for over 92
Billion in revenue. Complimenting this growth
would be over 5 Billion worth of annual RD
investments on 5G mobile technology funded by
regional, national government, wireless carrier
and vendor initiatives. Besides analyzing key
market drivers, challenges, enabling
technologies, investment trends, operator revenue
potential, regional CapEx commitments, network
rollout strategies, future roadmap, 5G RD
initiatives, value chain, vendor assessment and
market share, the report also presents revenue

• Key Findings
• The report has the following key findings
• Despite an ongoing decline in traditional
  macrocell RAN spending, the wider wireless
  network infrastructure market will continue to
  witness growth over the coming years. By the end
  of 2020, the market will account for over 92
  Billion in revenue
• Vendors are increasing their focus on profit
  margins. Many are already cutting staff,
  embracing operational excellence, evolving their
  new business models, acquiring niche businesses
  and expanding their managed services offerings
• New CapEx commitment avenues such as HetNet
  infrastructure and virtualization will continue
  to usher industry restructuring, and market
  consolidation
• As wireless carriers look to migrate towards
  scalable centralized baseband architectures,
  C-RAN investments will grow at a CAGR of 23
  between 2015 and 2020. By the end of 2020, C-RAN
  investments will account for nearly 14 Billion

10

• Developing market growth will be a significant
  factor during the forecast period, with China and
  India seeing some of the highest levels of
  growth, both in terms of shipments and in the
  size of their installed base
• Due to investments in a single RAN technology,
  future LTE investments will cost much less than
  early investments of the technology
• Supplemented with a drive towards C-RAN and
  virtualization, a limited amount of hardware
  installation will be needed when wireless
  carriers upgrade to LTE-Advanced and 5G networks
  in the future
• By 2020, VoLTE subscriptions will surpass 700
  Million, while nearly 60 of all LTE
  subscriptions will be served by LTE-Advanced
  networks
• Driven by regional, national government, wireless
  carrier and vendor initiatives, we expect 5G RD
  and trial investments will account for nearly 5
  Billion by 2020, following a CAGR of nearly 40
  over the next 5 years
