2017 Wireless Network Infrastructure Ecosystem & The HetNet Ecosystem Market Research Bundle

The wireless network infrastructure market is currently in a phase of transition, as mobile operators seek to address increasing mobile traffic demands amidst global economic uncertainties. This paradigm shift is bringing new challenges and opportunities to infrastructure vendors. In 2016, global 2G, 3G and 4G wireless infrastructure revenues stood at nearly $56 Billion. It is estimated that the market will shrink by 4% in 2017, primarily due to a decline in standalone macrocell RAN infrastructure spending. However, driven by investments in HetNet infrastructure and 5G NR (New Radio) rollouts - beginning in 2019, the market is expected to swing back to positive growth at an estimated CAGR of 2% between 2017 and 2020.
