New Mobile Experts forecast shows the transition to ‘brownfield’ networks

CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile Experts released a new forecast for Open RAN this week, with the most bizarre market growth profile ever seen in the wireless market. After great success with Open RAN deployment in greenfield networks such as DISH and Rakuten, O-RAN deployment screeched to a halt during 2024.

At the same time, major mobile operators started to make commitments to Open RAN during 2024 which will lead to new revenue growth in the 2025-2026 timeframe.

“Our revenue chart for Open RAN looks like the Grand Canyon,” commented Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts. “All of the big clean-sheet O-RAN deployments have finished their major buildout phase, so now the market will transition to upgrades on legacy networks. But legacy networks will use Open RAN differently. Many people don’t understand why legacy mobile operators are rejecting the original Open RAN business model and are choosing a Single Software business model instead. This report provides clear guidance on why the market is fundamentally changing.”

The new report lays out the expected revenue in hardware (radios, servers, antennas) and software (vDU, vCU, RIC, xApp, rApp, and dApp) through 2029, as major operators like AT&T, Vodafone, Verizon, Telus, DoCoMo, and others begin to buy mobile infrastructure from alternative vendors.

This report is a companion to related research on Virtual RAN, in which Mobile Experts investigated the separation of hardware and software products to ‘cloudify’ the cellular infrastructure market. The famous Mobile Experts method of counting radio components to track hardware is used here to get precision in the forecast, and on the software side the MEXP analysts interviewed more than 20 different parties in order to assess the adoption and pricing potential for O-RAN software.

“The US Government is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Open RAN,” continued Mr. Madden. “But sadly, the biggest challenge of Open RAN will not be addressed by NOFO and other government grants. Each grant will be too small to fix the fundamental economic challenge of Open RU hardware. The market will solve the problem anyway, without government help. Get our report for the details.”

Americans prepare for anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump.

SEATTLE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — StorageUnits.com, a reliable and user-friendly platform for finding the best and most convenient storage facilities, recently published findings from a December 2024 survey examining Americans’ preparedness in response to anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump. The survey of 1,750 U.S. residents highlights significant stockpiling activity and large purchases.

According to the survey, 28% of Americans are actively stockpiling goods, with another 17% planning to start soon. Household essentials (78%) and non-perishable foods (78%) rank as the most commonly stockpiled items, while 20% of respondents say they are stockpiling a year’s supply or more. Among active stockpilers, 15% have already spent over $1,000, and 7% are using rental storage units to manage their surplus goods.

Fear of tariffs is a key driver behind this behavior, with 9 in 10 respondents expressing concern about how Trump’s proposed tariffs will impact the cost of goods. The survey also reveals that 1 in 3 Americans have made or plan to make large purchases—such as electronics, appliances, and cars—before Trump takes office, citing his election as a significant influence on their decisions.
