What is the reason for the margin erosion in the Networks segment in 2022? 
istics of 5G is so different from any other mobile technology that, in reality, was only consumer-centric.
With 5G, we're opening up one completely new field or new segment being enterprises. So, I think we're underestimating the growth potential in 5G rollout. But we have also said that not to be caught in our own it's better to take an external forecast, you will suffer from shortcomings, etc. But as you asked, I think it's fair to say that we are more optimistic near term and even more optimistic long term.

Thanks, Borje. Thanks, Carl, for those answers. Thanks, Sebastien. And then we'll move to Frank Maao at DNB.
Good morning, Frank.
Frank Maao -- DNB Markets -- Analyst
Yes. Good morning. So, my question is really, first, how should we think about the target range that you have provided for Networks? I accept the fact that you are saying that 2022 targets for the group is no longer very relevant due to changes in the business mix. But if you zoom in a Networks for a moment, that there's a pretty large discrepancy between the target range and what you actually have delivered.
So, my questions would be then what -- is there any key reasons for any margin erosion year on year in 2022? For instance, raw material inflation, component prices were rising, and so on? Or do you expect that to basically be offset by the efficiencies that you pursue in design, in R&D, and so on? So that's kind of my first question. And then if I may, a quick clarification, actually, if I understood about your statement on the DPA bridge issue corrected. Did you say that there actually has been a DPA breach? Or was that a misunderstanding on my part? Thank you.
Borje Ekholm -- Chief Executive Officer
On the DPA, it's a correspondence from the DOJ that there is a breach, and they can determine that -- that's kind of their determination. When we have something more to talk about here, we will come back. I just literally -- it will be inappropriate to discuss any of the details.
Carl Mellander -- Chief Financial Officer
OK. And Frank, on the question of the target. I think -- I mean, the real focus here is to move now to this long-term, two- to three-year-out EBITA targets. And so, far, we haven't broken that down as to segments -- some point, we might come back with that.
But so far, that is the group target. 2022 targets were, of course, broken down by segments. And if we look historically than at Networks, we have been in this range or even above this range that we provided. And we are not here today to guide specifically on Networks for 2022, but the targets remain.
That's what we say. Of course, our entire job is to deliver as good profitability and growth as we possibly can in Networks for this year but also going forward. So, I think that's about as much as we can say about this. But let's shift focus now to this two- to three-year-out EBITA targets, that's really what's going to power our company now.
Peter Nyquist
Thanks, Frank. We need to move to the next question. So, thank you, Frank. And then we will move to [Inaudible].

Thank you very much, and thank you for taking my question. Two questions if I may. And the first, Carl, on the tax rate, effective at 25%. Can you give any guidance or some kind of ballpark, what could be prudent for 2022 to use given the mix that you expect? And also to Borje, except for the cellular enterprise private networks opportunity, a different -- what we see between 3G, 4G, and 5G is this fixed wireless access, first responder networks, etc.
Can you comment a little bit on your view on these markets if it can also help to prolong the 5G cycle? Thank you.
Carl Mellander -- Chief Financial Officer
OK. Thanks, [Inaudible]. Yes. On the tax rates, I would say the 25% that we have now for 2021, that is a good indication of where we should be with the current mix, geographical mix, and so on, and the profitability levels we have.
I think it's a fairly good assumption to use going forward as well. As you know, we come from much, much higher levels. And it's really how the company is set
