According to the brand new published Virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) Advanced Research Report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, total global revenue for vBNG platforms is expected to grow with a 31 percent CAGR from 2025 to 2030, as operators look to further distribute their subscriber and session management and separate control and user plane functions.
“Broadband service providers continue to move away from hardware-based BNGs toward more virtualized, cloud-native architectures so they can scale their services faster, add edge compute functions, and enable network and service convergence more quickly,” said Jeff Heynen, Vice President with Dell’Oro Group. “vBNGs and Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) architectures provide significant benefits to service providers and are being increasingly deployed for their architectural flexibility, integrated feature sets, shorter development timelines for new features, and their ability to scale with subscriber, traffic, and service growth.”
Additional highlights from the Virtual Broadband Network Gateway Advanced Research Report:
- Nearly 48 percent of all new BNG subscriber licenses purchased in 2030 will be on integrated edge router BNGs. Nevertheless, this share is down from a peak of 94 percent in 2023.
- Revenue from subscriber licenses will remain the majority of overall revenue for the combined BNG and vBNG market, with maintenance and support revenue expected to gradually increase as additional features and capabilities are introduced.
