The global 5G CU (Centralized Unit) and DU (Distributed Unit) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1955 million in 2025 to US$ 1674 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of -2.6% from 2025 to 2031.
A radio access network (RAN) connects 5G-enabled devices to the 5G core network. It is a major part of the 5G network. The 5G RAN consists of base stations (gNodeB), remote radio units (RRU), and antenna systems. It handles the radio communications between the user equipment (UE), such as a cellphone, computer, or any remotely controlled machine to the 5G core network (5GC).
In 5G, the gNodeB can be split into a Centralized Unit (CU) and Distributed Unit (DU), allowing distributed architecture. RRUs can be connected to a front haul gateway to combine multiple units with a DU, multiple DUs can be connected to a CU, and finally, CU connects to the core network.
