C-RAN Architecture Market Segmentation:
Network Type Segment Analysis
The global C-RAN architecture market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by network type into 5G, 4G, and LTE. Out of these, the 5G segment is anticipated to account for the largest market share by the end of 2035. The massive increase in traffic and severe impact on the power consumption of current network architectures impose additional cost burdens on network operators. Therefore, carriers are looking for better alternative technologies and architectures to help reduce energy costs, improve coverage, agile network traffic management, and increase hourly throughput. According to a report, the number of global 5G subscriptions reached up to 580 million by the end of 2021 and is anticipated to reach 3.5 billion by the end of 2026.
Architecture Segment Analysis
The global market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by architecture into Centralized-RAN and Virtual/Cloud-RAN. Out of these, the centralized-RAN segment is estimated to account for the largest market share by the end of 2035. In a centralized RAN architecture, baseband processing is centralized at a central location (data center or central hub). Remote Radio Units (RRUs) are connected to the central site through a fronthaul network that carries digitized baseband signals between the central site and the RRUs. This architecture enables more efficient resource allocation and reduces power consumption.
