JGunn Research: Market Research

Ongoing Market Research Activities

Current significant market trends include:

Broadband has become the most significant telecommunciation growth opportunity and includes both wireless and (fixed) wireline.
Wireless continues to be the largest telecommunication market. LTE (Long Term Evolution) provides mobile broadband. 5G standards and technologies will position wireless for both mobile and fixed services by 2020 and provide substantual growth opportunities thereafter.
Fiber will continue evolution to provide cost effective broadband access in scenarios with appropriate subscriber density, capacity, and bit rate requirements.
Video over-the-top (OTT) services will continue to evolve to revolutionize content delivery services. IP (Internet Protocol) will be the dominate delivery technology in the near future.
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies connects phyical objects such as devices, vehicles, (home) appliances, etc. so that their use, data, operation, status, etc. can be remotely managed. As traditional cellular services become saturated, IoT services provide emerging growth opportunities.
Autonomous Vehicles are rapidly being developed and tested. Much must be accomplished before mass deployment and use. In addition to enabling operational communication, significant new commercial communication services are anticipated.
Virtualization is a significant enabler of Cloud Services. Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are becoming significant enablers of an expanding suite of communication services. Virtualization will enable faster, more responsive, and lower cost new services. These new services will provide significant growth opportunities for operators that provide saturated (but significant) traditional services.
