in RAN Intelligent Controller Market
  • In November 2024, EchoStar's subsidiary, Hughes Network Systems, secured a $6.5 million contract to deploy a 5G Open RAN prototype at Fort Bliss, Texas. This network features a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), enabling the U.S. Department of Defense to test RIC-based software applications for military networks. This initiative underscores the strategic importance of RIC technology in enhancing network flexibility and security for defense applications.
  • In June 2024, Dr. Alex Jinsung Choi, Chairman of the O-RAN ALLIANCE and Senior Vice President at Deutsche Telekom, delivered a talk on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) within the Radio Access Network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) framework, focusing on advancements toward 6G networks. He discussed how AI/ML based 5G RICs are evolving to meet the demands of 6G, highlighting the development of an ecosystem of xApps and rApps—AI/ML applications running on the RIC platform.
  • In February 2024, NEC Corporation introduced dynamic control technology for 5G RANs, designed to receive real-time status updates from user terminals. This autonomous optimization technology aims to enhance applications such as remote control of robots and vehicles by reducing communication latency and improving network reliability. NEC plans to integrate this technology with RAN Intelligent Controllers and conduct demonstration tests by March 2025.

FAQs

Global RAN Intelligent Controller Market size was valued at USD 218.5 million in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 351.79 million in 2024 to USD 15,881.24 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 61.0% in the forecast period (2025-2032).

The global RAN intelligent controller industry is highly competitive, with key players implementing various strategies such as strategic partnerships, AI-driven innovations, Open RAN integrations, and product expansions to strengthen their market position. Companies are increasingly focusing on cloud-native and AI-powered solutions to enhance network automation and efficiency. For example, In February 2024, NEC Corporation and Radisys partnered to integrate AI-powered RIC solutions into Open RAN ecosystems, aiming to improve network automation and interoperability in 5G deployments. 'Ericsson', 'Nokia', 'Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.', 'ZTE Corporation', 'Mavenir', 'NEC Corporation', 'Samsung Electronics', 'Parallel Wireless', 'Radisys Corporation', 'Fujitsu', 'Altiostar (a Rakuten Symphony company)', 'Juniper Networks'

The increasing shift toward Open RAN (O-RAN) architecture is a key driver of the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) market. Traditional RAN infrastructure relies on proprietary hardware and software, limiting flexibility and vendor interoperability. However, Open RAN disaggregates the network, enabling the integration of multi-vendor solutions. The RIC plays a crucial role in this ecosystem by optimizing network functions through AI-powered xApps and rApps. Leading telecom operators, such as Vodafone, AT&T, and Rakuten, are actively investing in Open RAN deployments, further accelerating demand for RIC solutions.

Expansion of AI-Powered xApps and rApps for 5G and Beyond: The market is witnessing a surge in AI-driven xApps and rApps designed to optimize network operations. Telecom operators are leveraging these applications to enhance energy efficiency, automate network slicing, and improve Quality of Service (QoS). Companies like AirHop Communications and Parallel Wireless are leading this trend by developing AI-based solutions that enable predictive analytics and self-healing network capabilities.
