Explore the new value chain

Network_Vendors_M034_Ovum

Communication service providers (CSPs) are going digital. As they shift from CSP to Digital Service Provider and seek to become more agile their approach to sourcing and relationship with traditional vendors is changing. Their priority is to deliver faster, all-IP, cloud-driven services with vendor and hardware agnostic infrastructure.

The challenge for network vendors is navigating a new and rapidly evolving value chain as new competitors enter the previously walled garden of the telecoms market. At the same time technologies such as 5G, FFTs, GPON, G.Fast, and Mobile Edge Computing present new opportunities.

Ovum helps you:

  • Establish the impact of major trends such as cloud computing on the market and your business
  • Idenitfy where traditional vendors, software companies, start-ups and developer ecosystems fit in telco procurement plans
  • Identify where service providers plan future investments and track their deployments
