Description

Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) Market Summary

The global virtualized radio access network market size was estimated at USD 16.61 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 79.71 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 19.5% from 2025 to 2033. The virtualized radio access network (vRAN) market is being driven by the growing demand for flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient mobile network infrastructure.

Increased data traffic, the global rollout of 5G networks, and the need for network densification have led operators to adopt virtualized architectures. The global deployment of 5G networks has become a key driver for the growth of the vRAN market. Telecom providers are upgrading their current infrastructure to enable higher bandwidth and lower latency, which increases the adoption of vRAN due to its flexible and scalable deployment options. Network densification through small cells and distributed units is also more efficiently supported by vRAN, as it separates hardware from software and allows for centralized control. This trend is especially noticeable in urban areas, where high data usage and spectrum efficiency are critical.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are increasingly being integrated into vRAN systems to enable predictive analytics, real-time optimization, and automated fault detection. These technologies assist operators in managing growing data volumes, enhancing quality of service, and reducing human intervention in network operations. AI-powered RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs) are becoming key components of the vRAN ecosystem, allowing for smarter, self-optimizing networks. This trend is especially advantageous for telecom providers aiming to improve operational efficiency and minimize downtime in high-density traffic environments.

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.
