HetNet Market Expected To Grow 15 Percent by 2020 To Handle Mobile Data Heterogeneous Network Market to Have 15% CAGR Growth in Infrastructure Investments as Mobile Data Traffic Grows to 2020A new report indicates the heterogeneous network market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% between 2016 and 2020 as mobile operators remain committed to tackling the continued growth of mobile data traffic and evolving coverage requirements The HetNet Market (Small Cells, Carrier Wi-Fi, C-RAN & DAS): 2016 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts report expects small cell, carrier Wi-Fi, C-RAN and DAS investments to account for nearly $13 Billion by the end of 2016. The heterogeneous network market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% between 2016 and 2020, as mobile operators remain committed to tackle the continued growth of mobile data traffic and evolving coverage requirements. Driven by in-building wireless coverage requirements and the growing influx of mobile data traffic, mobile operators are increasingly investing in Heterogeneous Network or HetNet infrastructure such as strategically deployed small cells, carrier Wi-Fi and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems). Adding further to the heterogeneity is the shift towards a C-RAN (Centralized RAN) architecture, which centralizes baseband functionality to be shared across a large number of distributed radio nodes. In comparison to standalone clusters of base stations, C-RAN provides significant performance and economic benefits such as baseband pooling, enhanced coordination between cells, virtualization, network extensibility and energy efficiency.
