Neutral Host in Enterprise Cellular Revenue

Source Research:

The above chart forecasts revenue opportunities for neutral host and managed service providers from private cellular networks' radio access equipment, considering four main revenue streams.

• Infrastructure-as-a-Service: Revenue generated purely from renting out access to connectivity infrastructure to multiple enterprises.
• Network-as-a-Service: This primarily includes connectivity management services typically offered through platform suppliers. As operator connectivity management services are bundled in the price of the connection, revenue in this category is from third-party suppliers of connectivity management services.
• Security Services: Security services revenue come from four security services domains: device security, network security, data security, and application security. Device security revenue is provided for Identity Access Management (IAM) services, and for attestation services. Network security covers services for protection, monitoring, detection, and response/remediation to threats to all elements in a network that can disrupt and damage data flowing between the Internet of Things (IoT) device and data center/cloud where IoT data are used or stored. Data security covers securing data at rest. This includes secure hosting/storage of data in cloud & data centers (private, public, hybrid); secure data isolation, encryption, deletion, location, integrity, portability, and migration; and application of privacy techniques such as anonymization and information sanitization. Application security covers secure software development and testing services.
• Professional Services: In the enterprise cellular context, ABI Research considers professional services to include systems integration and consulting/project management services. As the forecast depicts, professional services is the largest revenue opportunity for neutral host solutions in the enterprise.
