Global SON (Self-Organizing Networks) in the 5G Era Market Analysis, Trends and Opportunities 2020 - 2026
Summary -
A new market
study, titled “Global SON (Self-Organizing Networks) in the 5G Era Market Analysis, Trends and Opportunities 2020
- 2026” has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
To support
their LTE and HetNet deployments, early adopters of SON have already witnessed
a spate of benefits – in the form of accelerated rollout times, simplified
network upgrades, fewer dropped calls, improved call setup success rates,
higher end-user throughput, alleviation of congestion during special events,
increased subscriber satisfaction and loyalty, and operational efficiencies –
such as energy and cost savings, and freeing up radio engineers from repetitive
manual tasks.

Although
SON was originally developed as an operational approach to streamline cellular
RAN (Radio Access Network) deployment and optimization, mobile operators and
vendors are increasingly focusing on integrating new capabilities such as
self-protection against digital security threats, and self-learning through
artificial intelligence techniques, as well as extending the scope of SON
beyond the RAN to include both mobile core and transport network segments –
which will be critical to address 5G requirements such as end-to-end network
slicing. In addition, dedicated SON solutions for Wi-Fi and other access
technologies have also emerged, to simplify wireless networking in home and
enterprise environments.
Largely
driven by the increasing complexity of today's multi-RAN mobile networks –
including network densification and spectrum heterogeneity, as well as 5G NR
(New Radio) infrastructure rollouts, global investments in SON technology are
expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 11% between 2019 and 2022. By the
end of 2022, SNS Telecom & IT estimates that SON will account for a market
worth $5.5 Billion.

Key
Findings
The report
has the following key findings:
- Largely driven by the increasing complexity
of today's multi-RAN mobile networks – including network densification and
spectrum heterogeneity, as well as 5G NR (New Radio) infrastructure rollouts,
global investments in SON technology are expected to grow at a CAGR of
approximately 11% between 2019 and 2022. By the end of 2022, SNS Telecom &
IT estimates that SON will account for a market worth $5.5 Billion.
- Based on feedback from mobile operators
worldwide, the growing adoption of SON technology has brought about a host of
practical benefits for early adopters – ranging from more than a 50% decline in
dropped calls and reduction in network congestion during special events by a
staggering 80% to OpEx savings of more than 30% and an increase in service revenue
by 5-10%.
- In addition, SON mechanisms are playing a
pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of 5G networks – through the
enablement of advanced capabilities such as network slicing, dynamic spectrum
management, predictive resource allocation, and the automated of deployment of
virtualized 5G network functions.
- To better address network performance
challenges amidst increasing complexity, C-SON platforms are leveraging an
array of complementary technologies – from artificial intelligence and machine
learning algorithms to Big Data technologies and the use of alternative data
such as information extracted from crowd-sourcing tools.
- In addition to infrastructure vendor and
third-party offerings, mobile operator developed SON solutions are also
beginning to emerge. For example, Elisa has developed a SON platform based on
closed-loop automation and customizable algorithms for dynamic network
optimization. Through a dedicated business unit, the Finnish operator offers
its in-house SON implementation as a commercial product to other mobile
operators..
