The "LTE & 5G NR-Based CBRS Networks: 2024 - 2030 Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts" report from SNS Telecom & IT has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report presents a detailed assessment of the market for LTE and 5G NR in CBRS spectrum, including the value chain, market drivers, barriers to uptake, enabling technologies, key trends, future roadmap, business models, use cases, application scenarios, standardization, regulatory landscape, case studies, ecosystem player profiles and strategies.

The analyst estimates that annual investments in LTE and 5G NR-based CBRS RAN, mobile core and transport network infrastructure will grow at a CAGR of approximately 15% between 2024 and 2027 to surpass $1.3 Billion by the end of 2027. Much of this growth will be driven by private cellular, neutral host and fixed wireless broadband network deployments, followed by a slow but steady expansion of investments in 5G buildouts aimed at improving the economics of cable operators' MVNO services. Complemented by an ever expanding selection of 3GPP Band 48/n48-compatible terminal equipment, the market size for end user devices is even bigger, with unit shipments of IIoT and FWA devices projected to account for $2.4 Billion in annual sales by 2027.

The report also provides forecasts for LTE and 5G NR-based CBRS network infrastructure and terminal equipment from 2024 to 2030. The forecasts cover three infrastructure submarkets, two air interface technologies, two cell type categories, five device form factors, seven use cases and 11 vertical industries.

The report comes with an associated Excel datasheet suite covering quantitative data from all numeric forecasts presented in the report, as well as a database of over 1,000 LTE/5G NR-based CBRS network engagements - as of Q4'2024.

Key Findings:

• LTE-based CBRS deployments encompass hundreds of networks supporting use cases as diverse as mobile network densification, fixed wireless broadband in rural communities, MVNO offload and private cellular networks for vertical industries and enterprises.
• Additionally, there has been a surge in the adoption of CBRS small cells as a cost-effective alternative to DAS for delivering neutral host public cellular coverage in carpeted enterprise spaces, public venues, hospitals, hotels, higher education campuses and schools.
• Some examples of LTE-based CBRS networks supporting neutral host connectivity include Meta's corporate offices, City of Hope Hospital, Stanford Health Care, Sound Hotel, Gale South Beach Hotel, Nobu Hotel, Arizona State University, Cal Poly, University of Virginia, Duke University and Parkside Elementary School.
• Also well underway are commercial rollouts of 5G NR network equipment operating in the CBRS band, which are laying the foundation for advanced application scenarios with more demanding performance requirements in terms of throughput, latency, reliability, availability and connection density.
• 5G NR-based CBRS network installations range from private 5G projects at the manufacturing and logistics facilities of Tesla, Toyota Material Handling, BMW Group, John Deere, LG Electronics and Walmart to Comcast's and Charter's ongoing 5G RAN buildouts based on strand-mounted CBRS radios.
• By eliminating the entry barriers associated with exclusive-use licensed spectrum, CBRS has spurred the entry of many new players in the cellular industry - particularly neutral host and private 4G/5G solution specialists such as Ataya, Ballast Networks, Bloxtel, Celona, GXC, Highway9 Networks, InfiniG, Kajeet, MosoLabs and Pente Networks.
