ORAN Takes Larger Share, Led by Asia: Dell’Oro

Open radio access network revenue is projected to be some 15% of the overall 2G-5G RAN market by 2026, “reflecting healthy traction in multiple regions with both basic and advanced radios,” Dell’Oro Group said Friday. Asia-Pacific is dominating in the early phase, with more than 40% of 2021-26 revenue, the researcher said: The move to virtualized RAN is “progressing at a slightly slower pace” and should be 5%-10% of the RAN market in 2026. “Open RAN is here to stay and the architecture will play an important role before 6G,” Dell’Oro said.
