“The self-organizing network (SON) has created a lot of buzz in today’s complicated cellular networks. The SON technology is essential to plan, configure, organize, optimize network performance, and to provide self-healing functionalities. These are the automated networks which are being able to monitor the network performance on their own. Self-organizing network minimizes operating expenditure and capital expenditure by reducing human involvement and by optimizing use of available resources. The increasing demand for broadband services is a key driving factor for the growth of the SON market. There are several other factors such as increasing deployment of LTE, reduced cost of installation and management, and CAPEX and OPEX savings; which helps to drive the growth of SON market. Surge in data driven services, a trend in self-organizing network is expected to continue in the next few years. But such services require higher bandwidth and greater speed for operation. The requirement of large bandwidth is a major challenge for SON market.
The self-organizing network market report analyzes the market by revenue source, architecture type, network type, technology, and geography. SON software and services are the two sources of revenue for SON vendors. The architecture type segment includes distributed SON, centralized SON, and hybrid SON. The network types include HetNet, mobile core, and mobile backhaul. SON for different wireless cellular technologies include 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE. The report also provides the geographic view for major regions i.e. the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Rest of the World (RoW). In this report— the drivers, restraints, and opportunities has been covered and are described briefly along with their impact on the self-organizing network market.
The self-organizing network market has the largest market in the North America. APAC and ROW are estimated to grow at a highest CAGR from 2014 to 2020.
