Ericsson said that by 2023, nearly half of US consumers will be able to connect to 5G networks.
4G networks are now very common, and their speed is far beyond that of 3G networks. However, with the emergence of IoT devices, streaming media services and on-demand content, our network requirements for mobile data are constantly increasing, forcing telecommunication operators to Increase network capacity and spectrum on the agenda.
Now that 4G has reached the bottleneck, consumers are increasingly demanding mobile devices.
The 5G standard, especially those that recover unused frequency band resources to support 5G network resources, has been referred to by the industry as a way to comply with current data requirements. This week, telecom giant Ericsson released the latest mobile report, reporting 5G. Network deployment will soon enter the stage of commercial promotion.
The company said that it is expected that the promotion of 5G technology will be dominated by the United States. All operators in the country plan to launch 5G services by the end of 2018 to mid-2019. By the end of 2023, approximately 50% of U.S. mobile phone users will use 5G networks.
Northeast Asia is expected to follow this trend, with 34% of mobile users will use 5G network. Western Europe will be ranked third, and 21% of users will use 5G network.
Ericsson expects that 5G networks will be deployed from this year and will be fully deployed by 2020. By 2023, there will be more than 1 billion 5G users adopting this technology, accounting for about 12% of the global mobile Internet users.
The speed with which 5G technology is expected to be promoted does not appear to be faster than we thought. This report also states that as of now, the global monthly mobile traffic demand is close to 107 exabytes per month, which is equivalent to 10 hours for each mobile user. Full HD video.
Unsurprisingly, the deployment of 5G networks will begin in urban areas. It is expected that devices supporting only 5G networks will be available by the end of 2018. 5G equipment supporting midband will be available in early 2019, and 5G devices supporting high-band will be Listed between the beginning of 2019 and the middle of 2019.
It is expected that the number of mobile Internet connections will increase in the coming years. According to Ericsson, by the year 2023, there will be 3.5 billion IoT devices on the market, which is more than double the number expected in 2017.
The Chinese market's interest in the deployment of large-scale IoT and new technologies to support large networks (including NB-IoT and Cat-M1) will make the deployment of the global Internet of Things faster than expected.
Fredrik Jejdling, head of Ericsson’s business area network, said: “In 2018, people will begin to commercialize 5G networks and will also deploy large-scale mobile Internet of Things. These new technologies are expected to bring new momentum. This will affect people's lives and subvert the entire industry. However, this goal can be achieved only if industry participants and regulators agree on spectrum, standards, and technology.
