Operator O-RAN Strategies: 2024-2029

Juniper Research’s O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) research suite provides insights and actionable insights into this rapidly growing and competitive market; enabling stakeholders, such as operators and O-RAN vendors to navigate and capitalise on the development and deployment of O-RAN hardware and software in operator networks.

This is achieved through a detailed assessment of the solution flexibility factors driving O-RAN architectures development and deployment in the telecommunications industry, including the growing volume and technical challenges of volatility in cellular data generation, and increasing mobile user equipment and higher RAN capital and operating expenditure. The report also provides an analysis of the different O-RAN components, including the RIC (Radio Access Network Intelligent Controller) split into non-RT RIC (Real-time Radio Access Network Intelligent Controller) and near-RT-RIC, SMO (Service Management and Orchestration), O-Cloud, and radio units, distributed units, and centralised units. It also provides operators with strategies for xApp and rApp development and deployment, O-RAN security innovation, multi-vendor and integration, and brownfield deployments.

The market growth report also includes analysis and recommendations for how operators can maximise the impact of O-RAN on quality of service, network performance, and network efficiency. Analysis and recommendations are provided for RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface) integration, MOCN (Multi Operator Core Network), network slicing, traffic steering, and private networks.

The market forecast suite includes several different options that can be purchased separately, including access to data mapping and a forecast document; a strategy and trends document detailing critical trends in the market and strategic recommendations for deploying O-RAN and maximising its benefits, such as eliminating vendor lock-in and increased access to intelligence and automation, and a Competitor Leaderboard containing extensive analysis of 13 market leaders and technology providers in O-RAN.

The connectivity technology coverage can also be purchased as a Full Research Suite, which contains all these elements and offers a substantial discount.

Collectively, they provide a critical tool for understanding these rapidly emerging market segments, and for operators and O-RAN vendors shaping their future strategy for monetisation and network transformation. Its unparalleled coverage makes this research suite an incredibly useful resource for charting the future of a crucial and rapidly growing market.
