Key Findings:

The report has the following key findings:
Despite challenges relating to implementation complexities and multi-vendor=
 interoperability, SON revenue is expected to grow to more than $5 Billion =
by the end of 2020, exceeding conventional mobile network optimization reve=
nue by a significant margin.
Mobile operators have reported up to a 50% reduction in dropped calls and o=
ver 20% higher data rates with SON implementation. Besides common network o=
ptimization use cases, operators are also capitalizing on SON platforms to =
address critical business objectives such as refarming 2G/3G spectrum for L=
TE networks.
In a bid to differentiate their products, Wi-Fi access point OEMs are begin=
ning to integrate SON features such as plug-and-play deployment, autonomous=
 performance optimization, self-healing and proactive defense against unaut=
horized access. =20
SON platforms are moving from reactive systems to more advanced implementat=
ions that incorporate predictive analytics technology to make necessary cha=
nges to a network before any degradation occurs.
Infrastructure and software incumbents are continuing to acquire smaller es=
tablished C-SON players to accelerate their entry path into the C-SON marke=
t.
