At the core of telecommunications industry is understanding wireline telephony engineering technology. Knowing the playing field of telecom carriers jockeying for market share, positioning against wireline telco vertical market nuances is key because wireline technology equipment infrastructure, not wireless, is the backbone of optical circuit telecommunications.

And without wireline, fiber backbone wireless carriers would not be able to operate their wireless networks. Think: fiber backhaul, cloud networks and hyperscale data centers…
Cell towers and switches are all interconnected via fiber. Technologies like 5G, 6G, 7G will all fail without fiber optics.
Venture Outsource has worked with a number of clients in telecommunications and networking equipment market verticals deep into technologies such as older, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and newer telecom technologies.
Gaining access to knowledge about contract manufacturing best practices (vs practices common in contract manufacturing industry) emerging telecom equipment product technologies such as switches using piezoelectric materials, combined with understanding contract manufacturing sourcing strategy, and decision-making shaping telecommunications standards is important for all equipment manufacturers and carriers – both wireline and wireless – tasked with formulating and managing extending contract manufacturing supply chains.
Behind the curtain
Telecom wireline carries in the United States engage telecom industry governing agencies, lobbyists and industry associations and experts, with influence on telecommunications US rate settings, to better understand telecommunications technology and formulating strategy for telecom equipment forecast planning and pricing of telecom equipment hardware and services.
In researching this article to gain a sense for the size of wireline cohorts in the US market, it can be challenging to know the exact number of wireline carriers due to the dynamic nature of the telecommunications industry, ongoing business relationships and market changes.

In speaking with a couple of different people involved in the process and activities for setting telecom wireline rates, findings indicate there are approximately 14,000 wireline carriers in the United States.

These 14,000 include smaller regional or local carriers, resellers, and independent service providers that lease infrastructure telecom equipment, or services, from larger carriers to offer their own brand of wireline services to customers. These carriers typically operate on a smaller scale and serve specific regions or customer segments.
Hyper-competitive industry breeds faster broadband
Meanwhile, telecom technology is moving faster than industry standards. Take the example with AT&T and Ericsson and the multi-year JV to open radio access network (RAN) technology deployment. This move to an open and flexible wireless network that is also highly programmable lets AT&T capitalize on next gen wireless technology and spectrum when it becomes available.
Additionally, edge computing (networking) devices are turning the telecom industry into a low-margin business. Edge computing places networking equipment closest to the source of data creation. Government and business applications and markets appealing to edge computing equipment manufacturers include smart cities, smart factories, smart factories and homes… But edge computing is changing rapidly, resulting in switching out equipment with the latest, frequently.
