Going through severe turbulences, Huawei flexes its musclesFebruary 01, 2019Despite a wave of travel warnings issued by several Western countries, I made it in and back safely from China without any troubles. Surprisingly enough, I was warmly welcomed by the Beijing International Airport immigration officers and I have to say that I was impressed by the smooth process made possible by the implementation of new kiosks that take care of fingerprints and pictures prior to meeting an immigration officer. And when I left China, the security guards liked my Huawei badge and showed their deep appreciation by giving their thumbs up.Subscribers Only

2019: Mobile 5G starts, and the mobile infrastructure market comes backJanuary 16, 2019This is literally the continuation of our 2018 predictions—I recommend revisiting the 10 January 2018 Analyst Insight 2018: Fixed 5G starts, mobile infrastructure market crumbles again, and you’ll see that most of our predictions materialized and what we anticipated for 2019 has become the title of this piece. The 5G NR forecast was the only part that saw a significant change, at least from a unit perspective, as several thousand were deployed in 2H18 in many regions with minimal revenue recognized so far. There was clearly a serious deployment acceleration despite the lack of 5G devices: was the cart put before the horse? More to come on this when vendors and service providers report their financials in a few weeks—we’ll finally know if 2018 was the mobile infrastructure market bottom and whether 2019 marks the return of growth. Despite this 5G acceleration, our model maintained the market revenue bottom for this year, according to our 3 December 2018 Mobile Infrastructure Market Tracker – Regional – Q3 2018. We reported that many 5G new radio units were shipped with no revenue attached, which is responsible for this pattern. Clients, please lot in to view the full content.Subscribers Only

2019: The 5G ramp-up resets telecom digital transformationJanuary 16, 2019With the US, China, South Korea, Japan, the Middle East, and the UK in the 5G driver’s seat, there is no doubt that some serious work needs to be done in the back office. 5G network rollouts are making headlines from a radio standpoint, and we expect a significant rollout ramp-up this year that will pave the way for nationwide coverage in 2020 in most of the above countries and regions. The question is, “What’s happening in the back office?” Not that much. It’s digital transformation business as we know it, so long as we continue to deal with the same use case—and that is us, human beings who have turned into mobile bandwidth hogs.

2019 telecom capex is slightly up, but the global economy is slightly downJanuary 11, 2019In a turn from the desynchronized regional telecom capex growth we experienced for the past few years, the global economy started 2018 with strong, synchronized growth, but momentum faded as the year progressed and growth trends diverged. Notably, the economies of the eurozone, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China began to weaken. In contrast, the US economy accelerated, thanks to fiscal stimulus.

Amdocs leads the convergent charging marketDecember 21, 2018To address several customer requests about convergent charging market vendor dynamics, we conducted additional research to further explore the “charging” segment of our 27 July 2018 Revenue Management Market Report - Regional; this segment accounts for $6B, or 51%, of the $12B total revenue management market revenue for 2017. After evaluating the convergent charging segment, which makes up more than 60% of charging, we found a slightly different ranking than for the full revenue management market: Amdocs stays at #1 with 17% share of the convergent charging segment, followed by Huawei (11%) and Netcracker (9%), which are #3 and #2, respectively, in total revenue management market share.
