Telecom Infrastructure Sector Scorecard Q1 2024 Update - Thematic Intelligence

The thematic screen of the publisher's telecom infrastructure sector scorecard is led by global vendors that score well in the themes related to cloud computing (e.g., programmable infrastructure, edge computing, private networks), 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI). The leaders include US network vendor Cisco, European radio access network (RAN) specialists Nokia and Ericsson, and innovative new entrants such as Mavenir and Rakuten, which is reaping the benefits of acquiring Open RAN vendor Altiostar.

The trade dispute between the US and China continues to escalate, with unclear indications at the end of 2023 that China may be starting to make progress on domestic production of advanced semiconductors. However, until confirmed, the leading Chinese vendors, Huawei and ZTE, have weaker thematic scores than their US counterparts.
