This report covers SMO software in mobile networks, and illustrates the shift from C-SON to Open RAN-based RIC and application software. Revenue and licensing structures for new software are forecasted through 2030. The report covers rApps, xApps, and dApps to illustrate what kind of optimizations will happen at each level, and non-standard SMO software is highlighted to show how some operators will remain outside of the O-RAN approach.
