Intelligent Network (IN) provides specific technical services or capabilities outside of the traditional network standard field. This concept is often connected to the telecom networks due to the recent innovations which expanded the capacity of telecom industry beyond its primary function of facilitating phone calls. This intelligent network concept is becoming more distinct with the introduction of the advanced network by telecom organizations. The intelligent network is the concept invented by Bellcore, a company that provides Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN). These networks divide the extra services through call switching system which makes it easy to add new user services. 

Digitalization and increased service switching are one of the major drivers for global intelligent network market growth. It increases the competition among market players by arranging new services and expands the development of new services for the customers. Service switching enables operating staff to manage many types of services of a specific module. Application development is another major factor driving the growth of intelligent network market across the globe. To create a new business outcome, applications play an important role where intelligent network helps these applications to connect with the business process. With the help of software coding, the intelligent network can be programmed and managed. The intelligent network is software driven infrastructure which is driven by storage, server, and network virtualization. Furthermore, internet on TV and interactive home shopping that operates on intelligent network architecture will create a potential opportunity for intelligent market growth in the coming years. However, a difficult configuration of intelligent networks may hinder the market growth as intelligent Networks are configured by many small pieces of hardware. 

Intelligent networks market is segmented based on application, end-user, and region. Application segment included in this market are traffic prediction and classification, resource management and network adoption, information cognition, performance prediction, and configuration extrapolation. Among application, information cognition segment is anticipated to have the largest market share during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the growing necessity of information cognition for data accumulation in network operations that consist of traceroute, network characteristics, traffic matrix, and other functionalities. The end-user segment includes cloud service providers, telecom service providers, managed network service providers, and others. The cloud service providers segment is expected to have the highest growth rate in the forecast period owing to increase in the number of data centers across the globe, which results in an increase in the demand for integrated network infrastructure. The regional segmentation includes the current and forecast demand for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Among regions, Asia Pacific is expected to have the fastest growing region in the global intelligent networks market. Many of the enterprises in this region are shifting towards cloud infrastructure for enhancement of the business process which results in an increase of the demand for cloud-as-a-service platform and intelligent networks.

Key players profiled in the global intelligent networks market include Harris, Cisco, Huawei, Ericsson, Colt Technology Services, Tech Mahindra, Nokia, Juniper Networks, Netcracker, Sandvine, Loom Systems, and Fujitsu, among others.
