5G Roaming Connections Drive Mobile Growth

The total number of roaming connections is anticipated to grow 350 percent over the next five years, with the growing presence of 5G and IoT roaming devices being major driving factors.

According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, growth in global roaming clearing revenues will reach $2.5 billion in 2024.

This 30 percent increase will be driven by the rise in 5G roaming connections as mobile service providers continue 5G network expansion.

5G Roaming Market Development

For network operators and clearing houses to capitalize on this opportunity, Juniper says they must focus on implementing new technologies and new growth strategies.

A major trend is the growth in Internet of Things (IoT) roaming devices, anticipated to reach 595 million globally by 2028. While this brings opportunities, mobile operators see limited revenue per Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connection.

Clearing houses can help by providing highly scalable cloud-based services to handle increasing data volumes. Micro-segmentation will also be key, allowing granular policies to monetize specific device behaviors.

Juniper forecasts over 6 billion 5G connections by 2028, with 5G roamers making up 27 percent of all roamers. 5G enhances the roaming experience, driving growth in devices like roaming tablets.

According to the Juniper assessment, clearing houses should arm network operators with analytics to forecast 5G roaming revenues, demonstrating value during 5G network launches.

Regions are also collaborating to reduce roaming charges like the EU’s “Roam Like at Home” through 2032. This improves the consumer roaming experience but diminishes operator revenue growth.

Clearing houses can help operators maximize roaming monetization and efficiency by automating services and implementing Billing and Charging Evolution (BCE) protocols. BCE provides detailed roaming data visibility, enabling tailored charging models.

Other key recommendations include investing in regulatory management tools to centralize compliance as regulation’s complexity increases.

Additionally, Juniper analysts believe that improving traffic segmentation is critical for understanding network roaming activities in detail.

Overall, data and financial clearing houses should focus on flexibility, granularity, and automation when developing new roaming monetization strategies.

Outlook for 5G Roaming Applications Growth

Implementing BCE protocols, machine learning, and cloud-based architectures will allow clearing solutions to scale while providing mobile network operators with the actionable insights needed to capitalize on emerging roaming trends.

As the roaming landscape evolves, Juniper predicts agile clearing houses that can pivot their solutions will be best positioned for net-new growth.

That said, I anticipate the costs of roaming will continue to decline, leading to a greater number of roaming devices on mobile networks. This will be led by mobile consumer subscribers, who are likely to be enticed by the lower roaming costs.

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That’s a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC’s previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

Protecting payment data is integral to the security of the digital payments ecosystem. In an increasingly interconnected world, with a growing number of payment options, the need for strong security solutions is clear. With so many payment methods now in use, the need to ensure that consumer data is protected across all channels is growing. One of the core concerns for many forms of data protection is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards compliance. Network Tokenization is a technology that replaces payment card data with a network-issued token and unique transaction cryptograms. The technology reduces the potential for fraud, improves the merchant and consumer experience, increases approval rates, and reduces overall transaction costs. Network Tokenization Market Development According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, they forecast substantial growth of 190 percent in network-tokenized transactions — reaching 400 billion globally in 2028, that’s u

The modern wearables market began in the 1960s with the development of calculator watches and other electronic devices that could be worn on the body. The market has grown, driven by the increasing popularity of fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other devices that can track our health and fitness, provide notifications, and control our smart home devices. Wearable device demand growth declined to 14.6 percent in 2022 from 27.7 percent year-over-year in 2021 due to the economic slowdown and reduced spending after the peak of the COVID pandemic. Wearables Market Development This trend persisted in the first half of 2023, as longer replacement cycles and a lack of compelling features suppressed demand. The overall wearables market will rebound, reaching 689.33 million shipments by the end of 2028, with a CAGR of 11.3 percent between 2023 and 2028, according to the latest study by ABI Research. In 2023, the wearable market is projected to grow by approximately 10.2 percent, with shipment
