“Overall, the RAN market is looking up. After 30 years of boom-and-bust cycles, the market is currently at a peak with 5G deployment in its active mode this year. We see new revenue coming in from private enterprises to offset the natural drop in CSP sales; specifically, the private LTE/5G market will grow by 19 percent, accounting for more than $4 billion in 2026. As a result, the total RAN market will remain near its 5G peak for a few years, with the possibility for growth in the longer-term Madden said.
