Research and Markets: 2013 Report on the International Cloud RAN
Market - Worldwide Market Forecasts to 2018
- DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hs3234/cloud_ran_market) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Cloud RAN Market - Worldwide Market Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. The Cloud RAN architecture helps in reducing CAPEX and OPEX and increases network efficiency and performance. In the present scenario, mobile data traffic is surging due to increasing broadband availability, emergence of smartphones and other devices such as laptops and tablets. This has forced mobile operators to find a cost-effective solution to cater to the increasing consumerization of IT. Cloud RAN is set to revolutionize the mobile communication industry, wherein mobile operators have already started migrating from traditional RANs to the Cloud RAN architecture. The concept of Cloud RAN was initiated by China Mobile and soon after, many key players such as Intel, Huawei, AlcatelLucent, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, ZTE, IBM and Orange joined together for the development of Cloud RAN architecture. In this research report, MarketsandMarkets has segmented the Cloud RAN market into components and service segments, across various geographical regions such as North America, Europe, APAC, MEA and Latin America.

Infonetics: As Operators Strive for “Zero Touch Networks,”
Optimization/Self-Organizing Market Grows
- CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 2013 Self-Organizing Networks (SON) and Optimization Software report, which tracks SON software by generation (3G, 4G) and by architecture (centralized, distributed) as well as 2G and 3G optimization software for the mobile network optimization market. ANALYST NOTE “Self-organizing networks (SON) remain baked in LTE, but as an evolutionary 3GGP technology, SON will continue to evolve, offering more and more advanced features. So deploying SON for 3G optimization – with the zero-touch network as the long-term goal – is something that’s natural and logical for many operators,” notes Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. Téral adds: “There is at least one cumbersome task, however, that can’t be easily automated and will require human intervention for quite a long time: drive testing. Our discussions with large mobile operators confirm there’s no way to replace today’s rudimentary technique of having a crew cruising a neighborhood in a truck to measure what’s going on.” SON AND OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Following 17% growth in 2012 driven by major deployments at AT&T and KDDI and many smaller deals, the global mobile network optimization and self-organizing network (SON) market is on track to grow 13% in 2013 In a large majority of cases, 3G network optimization, rather than LTE alone, is a key driver for using SON Over 80% of mobile operators worldwide are using SON for 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ optimization Centralized SON (C-SON) is predominant in optimization schemes Over 80% of mobile operators worldwide are using SON for 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ optimization Centralized SON (C-SON) is predominant in optimization schemes The burgeoning SON segment of the market tripled in 2012 Infonetics forecasts optimization and SON software to grow to nearly $5 billion by 2017 SON AND OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE REPORT SYNOPSIS Infonetics’ annual SON and optimization software report provides worldwide and regional market size, forecasts through 2017, analysis, and trends for the mobile network optimization market, including 2G and 3G optimization software and self-organizing network software by generation (3G, 4G) and by architecture (centralized, distributed). The report includes a mobile subscriber forecast (2G/3G/4G subscribers), a specialist vendor snapshot, and SON use cases from the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance. The report tracks Tier 1 mobile infrastructure vendors with mobile network optimization tools, including Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei, NSN, Samsung, and ZTE, as well as specialist vendors: Actix/Amdocs, Aircom International, Airhop Communications, Aricent, Ascom, Astellia, Axis Technologies, Celcite, Cellwize, Celtro, Centri, Cisco (Intucell, Ubiquisys), Commsquare, Eden Rock Communications, Forsk, Infovista, InterDigital, JDSU/Arieso, Newfield Wireless, Optulink, P.I.Works, Plano Engineering, Reverb Networks, Schema, Teoco/Schema, Theta Networks, TTG International, Tulinx, Vector, and Xceed Technologies.

Infonetics: Convergent Charging Market Lifting as Operators Replace
First-Gen Systems and Roll Out LTE
- BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest Convergent Charging Software and Services report, which tracks charging software built to handle multiple dimensions of convergence, including convergence across payment methods, service types, and access networks, along with related consulting, integration, and managed services. ANALYST NOTE “Healthy growth in the convergent charging market continues, driven in part by a wave of replacement activity as operators swap out their first-generation charging systems for more scalable and flexible solutions that allow them to get new services and offers to the market quickly and efficiently,” reports Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics Research. “We expect LTE rollouts to further accelerate the market over the next few years,” continues Levine. “Operators will want to capitalize on LTE’s bigger ‘pipe’ via new services and pricing models that better tie the bandwidth consumed to the price being charged.” CONVERGENT CHARGING MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Convergent charging spending is generally not occurring hand-in-hand with LTE deployments; instead, LTE is acting as an indirect driver M2M transactions are expected to eventually far exceed human transactions on the mobile network, and Infonetics anticipates that most operators will implement new charging stacks—rather than extending existing systems—to support this new line of business Over the next 12–18 months, there will be a greater emphasis on convergent charging solutions that include self-care capabilities, enabling subscribers to change plans, add bolt-ons, and monitor usage, gaining more control over their services and spending Infonetics forecasts the convergent charging market to reach $4.2 billion in 2017, with growth coming from an increase in licenses in emerging markets and services spending in developed markets WEBINAR: MONETIZING SUBSCRIBER DATA Join Shira Levine Dec. 17 for Monetizing Subscriber Data to Drive Big Revenue, a live event that looks at the innovative ways in which operators are generating revenue from subscriber data: http://w.on24.com/r.htm?e=721562&s=1&k=9B012C4850E9F8F52E1E76278CE6C086. CONVERGENT CHARGING REPORT SYNOPSIS Infonetics’ biannual convergent charging report provides worldwide and regional market size, market share, forecasts through 2017, analysis, and trends for convergent charging software and services, and includes a convergent charging product roadmap and strategic outlook. Vendors tracked: Alcatel-Lucent, Amdocs, Convergys, Comverse, CSG Systems, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, NSN, Openet, Oracle, Orga Systems, Volubill, and others.
