Permalink to Bad Q4 for mobile network investment

The lone bright spot for the quarter was six new 5G Standalone (5G SA) networks deployed in 4Q 2023.
“The MCN market ended up with lower revenues
in 2023 than in 2022 after the steep slide in Y/Y revenues in 3Q 2023 and 4Q 2023,” says Dell’Oro’s Dave Bolan, “all regions had a negative growth rate for the quarter, with only North America and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) showing a positive growth rate for the year 2023. Another disappointment for the year was only 12 new 5G Standalone (5G SA) networks were commercially launched in 2023, compared to 18 in 2022.”
