5G Remote Radio Head (RRH) Market Segment Analysis - By Network Infrastructure

By Network Infrastructure, this market is segmented into Standalone and non-standalone network infrastructure. Non-standalone (NSA) held the highest market share of 100% in 2020, attributed to the early rollout of NSA technology across the world and the lack of standalone implementation. Apart from that, NSA is analysed to witness significant growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. The deployment of Non-standalone solution focuses on enhanced mobile broadband services to fulfil the demand of high data-bandwidth and reliable network connectivity. Furthermore, NSA technology of 5G partially relies on existing 4G LTE infrastructure, which in turn creates an opportunity for the service providers, who could offer the customers their 5G services with NSA, even before developing the SA technology. Besides this, rapid digitalization coupled with growing adoption of IoT and cost effectiveness of NSA technology compared to SA have created massive demand for faster data speed across the industry verticals, which is anticipated to boost the growth of Non-standalone segment during the forecast period 2021-2026.
