  • North America will lead the neutral hosting market followed by Asia Pac and Europe
  • Distributed antenna system based neutral hosting networks will critical for public venue deployments
  • Citizens Band Radio Service spectrum establishes the foundation for next generation neutral hosting networks
  • Private wireless networks for enterprise, industrial and government deployments is a major market driver for neutral hosting
  • Neutral hosting environment for private enterprise and industrial solutions will consist of a combination of WiFi6, LTE, and 5G radio equipment
  • DAS based neutral host solutions will dramatically increase as the demand for serving traffic from multiple MNOs from the same host becomes imperative

Mobile network operators have relied upon distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions for many years to meet the need for indoor traffic in the places where people congregate. This includes stadiums, convention centers, airports, major hotels, shopping malls, enterprise buildings, college campuses, transit systems, and other high traffic venues.

Traditionally MNOs build and operate indoor DAS networks themselves but it is often considered as an expensive mode of deployment and limits the space to deploy the same capacity for multiple MNOs. Neutral host networks are considered an optimal solution to overcome the problem of tackling large traffic in densely populated locations for multiple operators.

Under the neutral host model, a third party builds and operates a single wireless network and hosts multiple MNOs to connect the wireless customers. The third-party host operator initially funds the neutral host deployment that ultimately gets paid by MNOs through a recurring payment system.

The neutral host model also works as an alternative to carrier-deployed WiFi solutions to tackle indoor wireless traffic. The DAS based neutral host model overcomes the common problems associated with carrier WiFi such as network security, network performance, user mobility, and interference and service degradation associated with unlicensed spectrum.
