PDF-Radio Access Network

market share in 2018 and is probable to grow at a commendable pace over the
forecast period.
The lack of proper connectivity and network across the suburban and rural areas has
led to an urgent need for the deployment of small cell connectivity systems. Evidently,
the traditional LTE systems have been proven to be highly expensive and are complex
due to unending requirements by the mobile operators. On account of the requirement
for efficient communication, the demand for RAN solutions is exponentially mounting
in these regions. The reason for considering small cells over macrocells as base
stations for cellular network is the potential of innumerable small cells to be positioned
rapidly over a large area as compared to other base stations. The placement of large
volumes of small cells in the suburban and rural regions would allow the segment to
depict a CAGR of 6 per cent through the projected timeframe.
Notably, Asia-Pacific would be one of the rapidly evolving regions in the radio access
network market with an anticipated growth rate of approximately 8 per cent through
2025. The emergence and high penetration of 5G cellular networks across the region,
chiefly led by India and China, will act as a primary driver for the regional RAN industry
growth. According to credible sources, India has securely held a prominent position in
the global market on the grounds of sales of more than 40 million smartphones during
the third quarter of 2017. Evidently, several industry majors are building up alliance
with other technology companies to advance the innovative radio access solutions. A
