Network Emulator Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Cyber Attacks and Security Breaches on Networks - The importance of reliable network performance and security testing is highlighted by the growing number of cyber-attacks and intrusions, which are being caused by rapidly adopting Digital solutions and connected devices. To avoid cybercrime, proper testing becomes necessary in view of the potential for product vulnerabilities. The role of Network Emulators is crucial as they provide virtual testing environments in a variety of circumstances to ensure the security of networks and devices. With this capability, enterprises are empowered to diagnose, optimize performance, and design reliable networks. The strong role of network emulators in strengthening safety and combating cyber-attacks is becoming a powerful driving force for their broad deployment as threats become more severe. In light of this, the market is estimated to grow significantly.
  • Growing Investment in R&D Activities and Technological Advancements - Demand for mobile data and services will be increased by the evolution of 5G technology. The demand for high-speed machine-to-machine communication in the industrial sector will receive a major boost and there will also be increased demand for wide-area network coverage. Network testing instruments and emulators worldwide will also have a great opportunity to take advantage of this. The development and deployment of 5G wireless networks and devices are expected to take place in several key countries, such as the US, United Kingdom, Japan, and China by 2024. This would make it necessary to establish an infrastructure capable of providing connectivity services in extreme weather conditions, leading to significantly increased cell phone subscriber numbers. The network companies and communication service providers, CSPs, are investing heavily in network solutions.
  • Rapid Shift Towards Cloud-based Infrastructure - Cloud Based Network Emulators are becoming popular as a flexible and economical tool for performing tests and network functionality assessment, which may also be easily linked with other cloud-based applications such as Continuous Integration Services or continuous delivery of CICD in order to enable software-driven evaluation and certification.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Network Testing and Emulators - The requirements of emulators vary from type to type of network setup. The type of emulators used in network testing shall be software and hardware emulators. The costs associated with implementing and installing both emulators are considerable. The end users in the network testing ecosystem are very sensitive to prices and tend to choose less expensive emulators. In order to improve their test capabilities and reduce the number of devices, emulator vendors need help. However, increased test capability is accompanied by a substantial price that the end user companies do not often be able to afford.
  • Swift Change in Network Necessities may Hamper the Market Growth
  • Lack of Specialized Professionals may Hinder the Growth of the Market
