WISPAPALOOZA Show Daily Day 1

1 8 WISPA PALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 8 - 12, 2018 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 L Z OO 2018 Dell’Oro Group: CBRS RAN Market Investments to Approach $1 Billion A ccording to a new report by Dell’Oro Group, the CBRS market will grow at a rapid pace between 2018 and 2022 with total RAN investments approaching $1 billion and CBRS RAN shipments to eclipse half a million units. “While there is some concern that the mid-band spectrum policies in the U.S. could impact the magni- tude and pace of the 5G NR outdoor deployments and as a result enable other countries to take the lead in the 4G to 5G transition, the irony is that the U.S. is currently one of the few countries that is seeking to change the ownership model and the status quo about how networks are built,” said Stefan Pongratz, senior director with Dell’Oro Group. “And more importantly, our conversa- tions with both suppliers and end users suggest that the new owner- ship model and reduced barriers-to- entry in the CBRS band is already fostering innovation and opening up new opportunities and use cases for a wide range of participants.” Also according to the report, CBRS investments are not expected to have a significant impact on WLAN capex, but CBRS is projected to account for a double- digit share of the DAS market. More than 20 vendors are plan- ning to launch commercial CBRS RAN solutions, said Dell’Oro Group analysts. m Make sure to find one of the friendly Power- code Nurses to get a prescription for a special ISP wellness treatment.
