An international telecom consulting firm analyzed that operators may have been delaying the deployment of 5G SA. Because there is uncertainty in SA deployment itself. Coupled with the lack of confidence in deploying 5G SA on the public cloud.
It is fair to say that the deployment of standalone 5G technology has not been rapid. According to estimates, only about 50 5G SA networks have been launched worldwide so far.
Many planned 5G SA deployments have not been carried out
Operator uncertainty about 5G SA and deployment in the public cloud may be a factor.
According to the international telecom consulting firm’s recently released second quarter 2024 telecom cloud deployment tracking report:
With many planned deployments failing to materialize - the window of opportunity to launch 5G SA may have closed before it even started.
According to an international telecom consulting firm, this is caused by a number of different factors.
The international telecom consulting firm also highlighted changes in the public cloud providers themselves.
The report of an international telecom consulting firm shows that:
The prospects for vRAN and open RAN look more promising than 5G SA.
Among them, vRAN is defined as compliant with Open RAN standards. But it is usually provided by a single supplier.
A report from an international telecommunications consulting firm pointed out:
In 2024, important Open/vRAN projects of major operators are expected to start commercial operations to a certain extent.
