As this is a new Magic Quadrant, no vendors were added or dropped. As of January 2024, more than 300 3GPP-compliant 5G networks have been commercially launched in 113 countries and territories. The market share of the top four vendors (Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia and ZTE) on the mobile carrier network infrastructure was about 93% in 2023. New vendors have emerged or positioned themselves to use the transition to 5G as an entry point into the RAN and broader network infrastructure market, driven by virtualization, cloudification, open source and network automation.
A: We review and adjust our inclusion criteria for Magic Quadrants as markets change. As a result of these adjustments, the mix of vendors in any Magic Quadrant may change over time. A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate that we have changed our opinion of that vendor. It may be a reflection of a change in the market and, therefore, changed evaluation criteria, or of a change of focus by that vendor.
