Telecos dial $30-bn capex in Open RAN by 2030
Mobile operators are likely to invest more than $30 billion in open RAN networks globally by 2030, representing a CAGR of 24 per cent for the period, according to a latest report. Open RAN stands for open radio access network
New Delhi: Mobile operators are likely to invest more than $30 billion in open RAN networks globally by 2030, representing a CAGR of 24 per cent for the period, according to a latest report. Open RAN stands for open radio access network. An open RAN is made possible by a set of industry-wide standards that telecom suppliers can follow when producing related equipment.
Open RAN network investments have increased steadily in recent years, driven primarily by Greenfield network operators in the Asia-Pacific and North American regions, according to Counterpoint Research. However, following this period of rapid network build-outs, Greenfield operators are looking to lower capex in 2023 and 2024 and focus on network monetization. Some Tier-1 operators, notably Vodafone, have announced major plans recently to deploy open RAN, but most Brownfield network operators remain very cautious about additional investments in 5G infrastructure, particularly Open RAN, due to the uncertain macroeconomic climate.
