Demand for 5G infrastructure is becoming more robust, though commercial deployments will be delayed by supply chain headwinds in the short term
Supply-demand imbalance delays pace of 5G market development The pandemic has prompted enterprises and governments to pull forward and broaden the scope of their digital transformations, primarily for business resiliency and cost-reduction purposes but also for tapping into new market opportunities. There is significant interest among governments and enterprises across verticals in leveraging 5G and […]
Hyperscalers begin to shift capex from central cloud build-outs to edge cloud build-outs
Hyperscalers’ focus is on creating value from distributed computing Hyperscalers are at the cusp of scaling out their edge computing deployments as they focus on creating value from distributed computing, which is a key foundational aspect of their digital ecosystem initiatives. They must pivot from centralized data center build-outs to building out the edge to […]
TBR projects CSP spend on edge compute infrastructure will grow at a 46.1% CAGR from 2020 to 2025 and reach $100B
Key Insights The Big Nine hyperscalers will collectively outspend the combined outlays of telcos and cablecos on edge compute infrastructure before the middle of this decade. All Big Nine hyperscalers are investing in the edge in some way. Amazon, Microsoft and Google have global ambitions for edge, though and the hyperscalers intend to partner […]
Government stimulus and enterprise digital transformation will accelerate 5G deployments
Government stimulus will accelerate 5G rollouts An increasing number of governments worldwide are becoming directly and/or indirectly involved in ensuring new technologies, such as 5G, are widely deployed in their respective countries. This spend is, in many cases, tied to economic recovery packages to counter the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and is being justified […]
Webscales will capture the majority of economic value of telecom edge compute market
Nascent trends in the edge computing market should worry telcos Webscales have various initiatives underway that will disrupt aspects of telcos’ business model, posing a direct threat to their connectivity businesses and ability to capitalize on new value created from 5G and edge computing. Webscales’ rapidly expanding presence in the edge compute space and keen […]
Nascent trends in edge compute market should worry telcos as webscales disrupt incumbents’ business models
Key insights Webscales will leverage their own infrastructure, platforms and ecosystems to disrupt vendors and relegate incumbent operators to providing site access and backhaul services. Though webscales are posturing like they want to partner with telcos on new opportunities, edge compute partnerships between webscales and telcos to date are more exploitative than cooperative in nature. […]
Network transformation positions CSPs to support advanced use cases and save costs via Open RAN
As communication service providers (CSPs) are transforming into digital service providers they are transitioning their networks to a virtualized, container- and microservices-based, cloud-native architecture. This cloud-centric network architecture will enable CSPs to generate value from new technologies, such as 5G and edge computing, and adopt next-generation network operations based on data as well as AI […]
5G will drive CSPs to adopt a new network architecture, with NFV and SDN as critical aspects
According to TBR’s 3Q19 NFV/SDN Telecom Market Landscape, 5G will push CSPs to accelerate and broaden their NFV/SDN initiatives. As such, TBR expects NFV/SDN-related spend growth will correlate with 5G deployments. Since CSPs will need to upgrade their networks from an end-to-end perspective to realize the full potential of 5G, this will naturally drive CSPs […]
