Comcast Business advances to top rank on Vertical Systems Group’s 2024 U.S. SD-WAN LEADERBOARD
Comcast reached the number one ranking on the 2024 U.S. SD-WAN LEADERBOARD for the first time, showing ongoing shifts in the segment.
According to VSG, the company has steadily risen in the SD-WAN market segment from its eighth position in 2018.
AT&T, meanwhile, moves to the #2 position, following its hold on the top LEADERBOARD rank for the last six years.
Joining Comcast and AT&T were Verizon, Lumen, Hughes, and Windstream.
As of December 31, 2024, each service provider had four percent (4%) or more of the billable Carrier-Managed SD-WAN customer sites installed in the U.S.
“The U.S. SD-WAN market continues to expand despite several challenges for service providers and customers. These include ongoing platform updates, deployment of multiple SD-WAN solutions, and the confusion around SASE and SSE offers,” said Erin Dunne, director of research services of Vertical Systems Group. “SD-WAN service providers who managed these complexities and effectively scaled their offerings drove the shifts in the LEADERBOARD rankings.”
