Strong LTE Growth in China and Europe Offsets Weaker North America RAN Investments, According to Dell'Oro Group Report


REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, revealed that the Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure market advanced at a mid-single digit rate in 2014, recording a second consecutive year of growth, and the third strongest RAN infrastructure market on record.

"The rapid transition from 3G to 4G in China and strong growth in European 4G investments offset the much anticipated decline in North America radio infrastructure investments in 2014," said Stefan Pongratz, analyst with Dell'Oro Group. "The sheer magnitude and pace of the 4G rollouts in China were the primary drivers of growth for both the APAC region and TD-LTE throughout 2014," Pongratz continued.

The report also shows that TD-LTE accounted for approximately one-third of the combined FDD/TDD LTE market revenues in 2014, up significantly from 2013.

Other highlights from Dell'Oro Group's Quarterly Mobile RAN Report, 4Q14:

  • The RAN (2G/3G/4G macro & small cell) shres of Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent were impacted by the shift from North America to China. Both vendors lost single-digit percentage points of share in 2014.
  • Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia maintained the top three revenue share rankings in LTE, while Huawei, ZTE and Nokia were the top TD-LTE RAN vendors as measured by 2014 revenues.
  • After two years of growth, the total RAN market is expected to decline in 2015 as 4G growth in Europe will likely not be sufficient to offset near-term pressures in North America and stronger comps in APAC.
