Dell'Oro says global RAN market stabilized in second quarter of 2026

Dell'Oro Group said worldwide RAN revenue rose year over year in the second quarter, the third straight quarter of growth after more than two years of contraction.
Dell'Oro Group said the global radio access network market stabilized in the second quarter of 2026, with worldwide RAN revenue rising year over year for a third straight quarter.
That followed more than two years of contraction. Dell'Oro said the latest quarter suggests the sector may be moving toward a steadier path, even if the rebound is still uneven across regions and suppliers.
Stefan Pongratz, vice president at Dell'Oro Group, said in the release that the "coverage-to-capacity correction is largely in the past" and that the market is stabilizing. He also said three consecutive quarters of modest growth support a more stable trajectory.
Dell'Oro's RAN Quarterly Report covers several segments, including 5G NR Sub-7 GHz, 5G NR mmWave, LTE, Macro BTS, Small Cells, Massive MIMO and Cloud RAN. The report also tracks the market by region and includes a four-quarter outlook, according to the release.
Dell'Oro described itself in the item as a market research firm focused on telecommunications, security, enterprise networks and data center infrastructure. The company said it provides quantitative data and qualitative analysis for fact-based business decisions.
No revenue figures, percentages or regional breakdowns were provided in the source text.
Dell'Oro said its outlook covers the next four quarters.
