小型蜂窩 5G 網路市場 - 增長、趨勢、COVID-19 影響和預測（2022-2027 年）

小蜂窩 5G 網路市場預計在預測期間（2022-2027 年）將以超過 37% 的複合年增長率增長。

5G 小基站將成為未來全球 5G 網路的基礎。通過行業合作，5G 小基站在全球範圍內以所需速度大規模部署成為可能，使 5G 成為現實。 5G 承諾更便宜、更快的通信，但它需要用微型蜂窩擴展無線網路。

主要亮點

• 小型單元在當今的環境中必不可少，尤其是對於越來越多的需要寬頻的應用和鏈接設備而言。例如，根據思科系統公司的數據，預計到 2030 年將有 5000 億台設備在線。 5G 運營商還專注於在低頻段安裝超小型基站，以為客戶提供更高寬頻的服務。
• 不斷增長的移動數據流量正在積極推動市場增長。思科視覺網路指數 (VNI) 全球移動數據流量預測預測，從 2017 年到 2022 年，移動數據流量將以 46% 的複合年增長率增長，達到每月 77.5 艾字節。根據思科的研究，到 2022 年，5G 連接產生的流量將是典型 4G 連接的 2.6 倍。
• 在支持數據的設備和高寬頻應用 (APP) 的推動下，移動數據流量正呈指數級增長。小型蜂窩部署是每個運營商的首要任務，60% 的運營商認為它是 4G 服務的關鍵組成部分。沃達豐、AT&T 和軟銀等主要運營商已經在使用宏網絡通過小型蜂窩技術實現差異化。例如，Verizon 在紐約、芝加哥、亞特蘭大和舊金山等美國多個城市都有小型基站。
• 此外，5G 將部署在現有的蜂窩無線電頻率上，但隨著運營商增強和支持更高的無線電頻率（20GHz 及以上），移動服務尤其可能會投入使用。我已經做到了。此外，這些頻率的部署只能在受限區域進行，並且不會穿透牆壁，從而限制了信號穿透。這將促進將小型蜂窩引入建築物，為智能手機和物聯網設備提供出色的連接性。
• COVID-19 疫情也對移動行業產生了嚴重影響。短期內，部分市場的 5G 部署將進一步延遲，這些服務將受到最嚴重的打擊。消費者可能買不起小型蜂窩 5G 設備，因為它們仍然被認為是利基市場。根據 GSMA Intelligence 的一項消費者調查，大多數市場的受訪者對升級到 5G 服務的興趣有限。例如，根據同一份報告，大約 80% 的英國消費者表示他們沒有升級計劃。

主要市場趨勢

預計運營商對小蜂窩的使用將顯著增加

• 小型蜂窩具有特殊功能，可支持移動寬帶和物聯網 (IoT) 用戶的大容量數據傳輸，以及高密度的低速、低功耗設備。小型蜂窩是 5G 部署的理想選擇，具有毫秒級延遲、每平方英裡百萬台設備和閃電般的速度。
• 因此，世界各地的運營商主要使用小型蜂窩技術來支持 5G 技術。據物聯網公司泰利特稱，這家美國電信巨頭計劃嚴重依賴微蜂窩技術來實現全國 5G 覆蓋。
• 為加強向消費者提供 5G 覆蓋的舉措，台灣最大的電信運營商中華電信 (CHT) 與諾基亞合作，從□□其小型基站產品組合中採購產品。在台灣，CHT 是第一家部署 5G 非獨立 (NSA) 小型基站的運營商。即時 5G 覆蓋現在可在多個地點使用，包括商業設施和旅遊景點。為提高室內覆蓋和容量，諾基亞將為 CHT 提供適應性強的 AirScale 室內無線電 (ASiR) 解決方案和適用於室外和城市熱點的 AirScale micro RRH。加上CHT目前超過2,500套4G小基站的產品組合，這兩種解決方案將使運營商能夠滿足5G網絡的室內覆蓋和密集化需求。
• 此外，Small Cell Forum (SCF) 是一組使移動基礎設施解決方案普遍可用的運營商，它發布了用於 5G 的 PHY API，並發布了 5G Small Cell 硬件和軟件。設備供應商。隨著數據使用和對高速數據需求的增加，運營商可以通過增加對 5G 網絡的需求來從 SCF 的競爭性生態系統中受益。
• 對於 5G 技術和網絡，運營商正在探索可能依賴互操作性和開放競爭環境的全新定價模式。隨著網絡變得更加分佈式，負責無線電功能的分佈式單元 (DU) 和負責協議棧和基帶功能的集中式單元 (CU) 之間的前傳是一個重要的接口。

預計北美將佔據很大的市場份額

• 由於 5G 等先進技術的普及，北美已成為主要市場之一。美國運營商正在廣泛使用微蜂窩來降低成本，同時使 5G 網絡更加密集，尤其是在大都市地區。例如，Sprint、AT&T、Verizon 和 T-Mobile 等運營商已表現出將 5G 網絡商業化的意願。這些運營商已與三星、愛立信、諾基亞、華為和中興通訊等網絡設備製造商簽署了價值數十億美元的合同，以建立 5G 網絡基礎設施。
• 美國無線網絡運營商大多采用微型蜂窩。例如，行業組織 CTIA 預測，到 2026 年，美國將有超過 800,000 個微電池，高於 2018 年的約 86,000 個。在被 T-mobile US 收購後，Sprint 總共擁有約 70,000 個小型基站。它準備將大量頻譜注入美國最大、最密集的無線網絡。不過，Verizon 的小基站戰略與 T-Mobile 不同，mmWave 預計最終將處理 50% 的城市流量，並在未來幾年繼續部署約 14,000 個小基站，旨在擴大整體覆蓋範圍。
• 根據愛立信的移動報告，預計到 2024 年，北美 55% 的移動用戶將使用 5G。在預測期內，所研究的市場預計將受益於 5G 訂閱的增加。
• 2021 年 6 月，美國 Qualcomm Technologies Inc. 宣布推出第二代 Qualcomm 5G RAN 小型蜂窩平台 (FSM200xx)。它主要用於擴展移動 5G 毫米波覆蓋範圍和電源效率。此外，全面的 3GPP Release 16 Modem-RF 解決方案支持毫米波中的 1GHz 帶寬，並支持更寬的 200MHz 載波帶寬，提供高達 8Gbps 的數據速率。此外，FDD 和 TDD 能夠進行 200MHz Sub-6GHz 頻譜聚合，提供高達 4Gbps 的數據速率。支持 eURLLC 等技術，提供工廠自動化和設備機器基本控制所必需的低延遲和鏈路可靠性（高達 99.99%），支持未來的自動化工廠，並促進向工業 4.0 的過渡。
• 此外，愛立信正與加拿大電信和媒體公司 Rogers Communications 合作，在其加拿大網絡中部署 5G。為羅傑斯的 5G 網絡提供動力的 5G 無線接入網絡 (RAN) 和 5G 核心 (5GC) 都將由愛立信獨家供應。小型蜂窩、傳統和大規模 MIMO 無線電以及 MINI-LINK 微波技術也是該技術的一部分。羅傑斯的 5G 網絡最初將使用 2.5GHz 頻段，但隨著服務擴展到其他市場，將主要在 600MHz 5G 頻譜上運行。

競爭格局

小型蜂窩 5G 網絡市場既不整合也不分散。市場上現有的主要供應商包括諾基亞網絡、思科系統公司、Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson、高通技術公司等。這些公司從事產品開發、戰略合作、併購等工作，以推出新產品。然而，隨著 Baicells Technologies 等許多主要供應商進入市場，競爭格局可能會在整個預測期內發生變化。

• 2022 年 5 月 - 5G Open RAN 基帶半導體和軟件專家 Picocom 與 Radisys 建立密切合作夥伴關係，為客戶提供基於 Picocom 的小型蜂窩 SoC (PC802) 和 Radisys 的 5G 軟件 Connect RAN 的客戶，他們已宣布將聯合提供5G Open RAN平台。 PC802 是一款靈活的低功耗設備，可推動新興 5G NR Open RAN 解決方案的創新。

第 9 章投資分析

第 10 章投資分析未來機會

The Small Cell 5G Network Market is expected to witness a CAGR of over 37% during the forecast period (2022-2027). 5G small cells will likely be the foundation of future global 5G networks. The deployment of 5G small cells at a large scale and required speed throughout the world is made possible by industry coordination, making 5G a reality. Although 5G promises to be cheaper and faster, it necessitates the expansion of the wireless network using tiny cells.

Key Highlights

• Small cells are essential for the current environment, especially for applications that demand more bandwidth and the growing number of linked devices. For instance, according to Cisco Systems Inc, 500 billion devices are anticipated to be online by 2030. Additionally, 5G telecom providers are concentrating on installing tiny cells in low-frequency bands to provide customers with services with increased bandwidth.
• The rising mobile data traffic is positively augmenting the market's growth. The global mobile data traffic forecast from Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) predicts that from 2017 to 2022, mobile data traffic will increase at a CAGR of 46%, reaching 77.5 exabytes per month. By 2022, a 5G connection will produce 2.6 times as much traffic as the typical 4G connection, according to Cisco's study.
• Mobile data traffic is experiencing exponential growth, driven by data-capable devices and high-bandwidth applications (APPs). Small cell deployment is a top priority for the various operators, with 60% of the operators believing them to be a crucial component of their 4G services. Leading carriers like Vodafone, AT&T, and Softbank have already used their macro networks and are differentiating themselves with small cell technologies. For instance, Verizon has installed tiny cells in various US cities, such as New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Francisco.
• In addition, 5G would be deployed on the existing cellular radio frequencies but may enable operators to enhance and address higher radio frequencies (over 20 GHz) to make it operable, especially for mobile services. Also, deployment at these frequencies is only possible in constrained areas, and the signal penetration gets restricted as it does not go through walls. This boosts the adoption of small cells for in-building applications, with excellent connectivity for smartphones and IoT devices.
• The COVID-19 outbreak has had a severe effect on the mobile sector. In the short term, the 5G rollout in several markets will be delayed further, and its services will be the hardest hit. Consumers may be unable to spend on small cell 5G devices as it is still considered niche. According to GSMA Intelligence's consumer survey, most of the respondents in most markets had limited interest in upgrading to 5G services. For instance, according to the report, nearly 80 % of consumers in the United Kingdom did not plan to upgrade.

Key Market Trends

Usage of Small Cell by Telecom Operators is Expected to Grow Significantly

• Small cells are specially equipped to handle large data rates for mobile broadband and users of the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as dense populations of low-speed as well as low-power devices. They are ideal for the 5G rollout because of this characteristic, which offers millisecond latencies, a million devices per square mile, and extremely high speeds.
• Owing to this, small cell technology is being mainly used by telecom operators around the world to bring out 5G technology. Major US telecom companies plan to rely heavily on tiny cell technology for 5G coverage across the nation, according to the IoT company Telit.
• To boost the initiative in terms of providing 5G coverage to consumers, Taiwan's largest telecom operator Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), teamed with Nokia for the products from its small cells portfolio. In Taiwan, CHT was the first operator to roll out 5G non-standalone (NSA) tiny cells. Instant 5G coverage is now possible in several places, including commercial and tourism locations. In order to improve interior coverage and capacity, Nokia will provide CHT with both its adaptable AirScale indoor Radio (ASiR) solution and its AirScale micro RRH for outdoor and urban hotspots. In addition to CHT's current base of more than 2,500 sets of 4G small cells, these two solutions will help operators meet the needs of a 5G network's indoor coverage and densification.
• Additionally, the Small Cell Forum (SCF), a telecoms organization that makes mobile infrastructure solutions available to everyone, issued a PHY API for 5G, which has sparked a competitive ecosystem for suppliers of 5G small cell hardware, software, and equipment. The telecom providers gain from the competitive ecosystem of the SCF by driving up the demand for the 5G network as the demand for data usage and high-speed data rise.
• For 5G technologies and networks, telecom operators are searching for a fundamentally new pricing model that might rely on interoperability and an open, competitive environment. The fronthaul between a distributed unit (DU) for radio functions and a centralized unit (CU) for protocol stacks and baseband functions is a crucial interface as networks get decentralized.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share

• North America is one of the leading markets because of the widespread use of advanced technology like 5G. The telecom operators in the United States are highly using tiny cells to densify their 5G network, particularly in metropolitan areas, while reducing costs. For instance, operators like Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, have shown a positive approach toward commercializing 5G networks. To develop their 5G network infrastructure, these operators have made billion-dollar agreements with manufacturers of network equipment, including Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, and ZTE.
• Wireless network operators in the US are largely embracing tiny cells. For instance, the trade association CTIA forecasted that by 2026, there would be more than 800,000 tiny cells in the United States, up from about 86,000 in 2018. After the acquisition of Sprint Corporation by T-mobile US, together, they have about 70,000 small cells. Moreover, the company is ready to pour huge amounts of spectrum onto the biggest and densest wireless network in the United States. However, Verizon's small cell strategy is different from T-Mobile's in that it expects mmWave to eventually handle 50% of urban traffic and aims to continue deploying around 14,000 small cells over the next few years to expand the overall coverage.
• By 2024, 5G subscriptions are anticipated to make up 55% of all mobile subscriptions in the North American region, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report. Over the projected period, it is anticipated that the market under study will benefit from the increase in 5G subscriptions.
• In June 2021, United States-based Qualcomm Technologies Inc. launched its second-generation Qualcomm 5G RAN Platform for Small Cells (FSM200xx). It is mainly designed for expanding the mobile 5G mmWave coverage as well as power efficiency. Moreover, the comprehensive 3GPP Release 16 Modem-RF solution provides data that speeds up to 8 Gbps with bandwidth support of 1 GHz on mmWave and support for wider 200MHz carrier bandwidth. Additionally, it enables 200 MHz of Sub-6 GHz spectrum aggregation across FDD and TDD, providing data rates of up to 4 Gbps. With its support for technologies like eURLLC to provide low latency and link dependability (up to 99.99%) essential for factory automation and mission-critical control of equipment and machines, it seeks to power the factory of the future automation and hasten the transition to industry 4.0.
• Furthermore, Ericsson collaborated with Rogers Communications Inc., Canadian communication and media company, for the installation of 5G across its network in Canada. The 5G radio access network (RAN) and 5G core (5GC) for Rogers' 5G network are both exclusively supplied by Ericsson. Small cells, conventional and Massive MIMO radios, and MINI-LINK microwave technologies are also part of the technology. The Rogers 5G network is initially using a 2.5 GHz band and will mostly expand to operate on the 600 MHz 5G spectrum as the service expands to other markets.

Competitive Landscape

The market for small cell 5G networks is neither consolidated nor fragmented. Some of the key existing vendors in the market include Nokia Networks, Cisco Systems Inc., Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, and Qualcomm Technologies Inc., among others. These companies are implementing product development, strategic partnerships, and mergers & acquisitions to launch new products. However, many key vendors, such as Baicells Technologies Co. Ltd, have entered the market, which may change the competitive landscape throughout the forecast period.

• May 2022 - Picocom, the 5G Open RAN baseband semiconductor and software specialist, declared that through close partnership with Radisys, they are providing joint 5G Open RAN platforms to the clients and the customers based on Picocom's PC802 small cell System-on-Chip (SoC) and Radisys' Connect RAN 5G software. The PC802 flexible, low-power consumption device empowers the innovation of a new breed of 5G NR Open RAN solutions.
• August 2021 - Nokia declared it had been selected by Union Wireless to swap out its existing RAN equipment with Nokia's AirScale 4G/5G radio portfolio to update and modernize its network while supporting the Secure and Trusted Telecommunications Act. Union Wireless will roll out 4G service initially with a built-in path to 5G for its subscribers.
