Global trends, regional variations and outlook

There has been growing momentum behind network sunsets in recent years, spurred by declining traffic on legacy network generations, the financial burden of maintaining legacy infrastructure, and the need to use spectrum resources more efficiently by migrating to newer technology.

The data provided as part of this research covers network sunsets by year, technology, region and status. The report also outlines the latest important developments in network sunsets.
