5G Base Station Segmentation

End user (Telecom Operators, Enterprises, Government & Defense)

The telecom operator segment is projected to garner a 35.5% share, driven by the rapid deployment of 5G by various telecom giants to fulfill the data demands. For instance, Research Nester estimates that by 2030, 5.54 billion 5G connections will be established. The growth of the segment can also be attributed to the rising rollouts of the networks based on 5G Standalone, having 260 operators in almost 100+ nations. Also, there has been a surge in government initiatives in auctioning the mid-band spectrum. For example, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctioned the 3.7 GHz band for accelerating the deployment of 5G in the U.S.

Technology (Massive MIMO, Beamforming, Distributed Antenna Systems)

Massive Multiple Input, Multiple Output technology is pivotal for the 5G networks, remarkably fostering network capacity. The adoption is also bolstered by the requirement of massive MIMO in getting these standards. The technology allows the transmission of multiple streams of data, and raising the throughput of wireless networks. For example, Optus and Ericsson partnered and illustrated savings of daily energy by almost 26.4% by dynamically turning off inactive Massive MIMO. Additionally, Vodafone UK made a partnership with Ericsson to conduct trials to achieve a 33.4% reduction in daily power. These developments highlight the imperative role of Massive MIMO, aided by AI-enabled optimization.
