Description

The race to provide 5G in some areas of the world has driven growth rates for 5G network infrastructure to rise above historical averages. However, 2024 saw slowing growth as 5G coverage in these countries and regions became more ubiquitous. This does not mean investment in 5G networks is done; there is still much work to be done in all areas of 5G network infrastructure. There is also an expansion of the regions that are moving to 5G—essentially all areas of the world are now beginning to utilize 5G networks.

2025 will likely see at least slow growth overall in 5G network infrastructure. CSPs will continue to invest in their public network infrastructure, but likely at a lower level than a few years ago. Many will focus on the transport and core upgrades needed, as more CSPs slowly transition to 5G standalone.

There are a few bright spots that will help lift the overall growth rate of network infrastructure. Open and virtual RAN is still a small part of the overall RAN segment, but this market appears poised to grow strongly after a few years of hesitation. Another bright spot is the expansion of the customer base from CSPs and public networks to enterprises and private networks. Private networks comprise a smaller market, but will grow faster than the market as a whole. New technologies—including AI, NTN, and network APIs—may drive some growth in the network infrastructure market in the coming years.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
