Global $22 Billion NFV, SDN & Wireless Network Infrastructure Markets: 2017-2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies and Forecasts Report


DUBLIN, Feb. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "The NFV, SDN & Wireless Network Infrastructure Market: 2017-2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies and Forecasts" report from SNS Telecom & IT has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Research and Markets Logo

This report package provides an in-depth assessment of NFV, SDN, network virtualization, 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G wireless network infrastructure and HetNet gear. Besides analyzing enabling technologies, key trends, market drivers, challenges, use cases, mobile operator case studies, regional CapEx commitments, regulatory landscape, standardization, opportunities, future roadmap, value chain, ecosystem player profiles and strategies

Service providers continue to face increasing CapEx and OpEx burdens, amid growing requirements for high-speed mobile broadband services. By eliminating reliance on expensive proprietary hardware platforms, NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) and SDN (Software Defined Networking) promise to reduce service provider CapEx. In addition, both technologies can significantly slash OpEx due to a reduction in physical space, labor and power consumption.

Driven by the promise of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) reduction, mobile operators are aggressively jumping on the NFV and SDN bandwagon, targeting deployments across a multitude of areas. It is estimated that NFV and SDN investments in service provider networks - both mobile and fixed-line - will account for nearly $22 Billion by the end of 2020. Approximately 40% of these investments will be directed towards the mobile core, IMS/VoLTE and RAN segments of mobile operator networks.
