Industry Overview
Heterogeneous network market was valued at $38.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $135.9 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) is a complex ecosystem of radio cells with various coverage ranges and technologies, that work together to provide the needed capacity and coverage. These networks are the next wave of improvements that are planned to be carried out globally by communication service providers after LTE (CSPs). The major goal of heterogeneous networks is to enhance coverage and capacity over traditional cell deployment types such as macro cells, microcells, and Pico cells. It helps them to provide high-quality client experiences while also allowing innovative network deployment models. For instance, in September 2024, HPE announced the expansion of HPE Aruba Networking Central with new AI insights and capabilities that include integration of OpsRamp for third-party network device monitoring of industry vendors such as Cisco, Juniper Networks, and Palo Alto Networks. HPE’s solution helps enterprises deploy and manage complex, multi-layered networks more effectively.
