CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Network outsourcing has the potential to reduce mobile operators’ expenses by 20 to 25 percent, according to a new report from Pyramid Research.
“Operator savings stem from reduced capex through network sharing and effective asset management, as well as from OSS [operations support systems] and network-management outsourcing,” said Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, the report’s author.
Pyramid said it expects operators will increasingly rely on outsourcing as they look for ways to control their bottom line. The firm predicts the outsourcing market will grow from $51.5 billion last year to $55.3 billion by 2010.
