5g networks exist in ... countries in 2022.

The reality is that access to 5G will not cause a dramatic shift in the day-to-day lives of most Americans. In fact, the fastest 5G networks will be limited to major metropolitan areas due to the density of infrastructure that 5G networks require. Rather, its importance lies in the ability to unlock a new era of faster connectivity and lower latency, which will impact many industries, alter how business is done and, finally, make the Internet of Things (IoT) a reality. A fully operational 5G network is estimated to be at least Editor A more immediate use of 5G is expected in "network slicing," a practice that allows multiple networks to operate on one dedicated platform. This represents a radical change from current approaches and would enable industries like automotive, government, logistics, media and healthcare to benefit from customized data processing. For some perspective, consider how Uber quickly works to connect you with drivers, map the driving route and then process your payment — all in just a few clicks. Before LTE networks, an application like Uber would have been nearly impossible. 4G technology opened up a sea of possibilities and introduced new types of connectivity that seem commonplace now. Just like digitization transformed our current market, 5G will be a catalyst to new business practices that can be difficult to fully fathom now. Why 5G deployment has been slower than expected in the U.S. 5G is completely dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum, a ...

Following the travails of 5G is a bit like supporting a middling Premier League football team as it slides back and forth between victory and regelation. But after ten years of hurt, wrangles over infrastructure costs, ROI anxiety, regulation, and even aviation disruptions, 5G is coming home with connectivity accelerating worldwide. In its Mobile Economy Report this year the GSMA said that it expects the number of 5G global connections to reach one billion in 2022 – a figure predicted to double to two billion by 2025 – by which point 5G connections will account for a quarter of all mobile connections. In its Q4 2021 Mobility Report Ericsson raised its global forecast for 5G mobile from 580 million to 660 a million by the end of 2021 – citing stronger than expected demand in China and North America. These pioneering markets – as well as South Korea – were responsible for fuelling 5G’s growth last year. China alone counts around 497million 5G users, which comprise of subscribers to its two main, state-owned carriers – China Mobile and China Unicom. These numbers are expected to exceed 560 million by 2023, according to Chinese government figures released last July. By next year, 5G networks in this territory are forecast to be used by over 40% of mobile phone users, the government added. North America, which last year claimed eighty million 5G subscriptions, is another territory on course for massive growth – with numbers expected to reach over 400 million by 2027. All this c...

5G networks were activated at a rate of almost two cities per day during 2021, according to Viavi Solutions 5G continues its deployment momentum around the world, while the shift toward Standalone is picking up, according to The countries where 5G has been newly launched include Argentina, Bhutan, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Malta and Mauritius, Viavi said, noting that all of those countries’ 5G networks launched in the second half of last year. China and the United States are the countries with the most 5G cities, at 356 and 296 respectively. But on a regional basis, the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region has surpassed the Asia Pacific region (including China) in terms of deployed 5G networks, with 839 5G networks in EMEA compared to 689 5G networks in APAC. There are 419 5G networks in the Americas, by Viavi’s count. While the vast majority of global 5G networks have been deployed as NonStandalone (NSA), where an LTE core network is required to anchor 5G and carry control plane traffic, there does continue to be movement toward 5G Standalone, which requires the implementation of a 5G core. Viavi says there are two dozen 24 5G SA networks deployed around the world, and noted that “It is widely considered that many of the next-generation use cases and monetization models associated with 5G, beyond enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) will only be possible when Standalone 5G networks built on new 5G core networks are in place.” Network slicing functionality, for inst...

For the past two years, China has been at the forefront of the 5G innovations race, thanks to significant rollouts and the growth of 5G solutions. The country has built 961,000 5G base stations and 365 5G terminal connections and has shipped 128mn 5th-Generation phones. According to data from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), there are more than 10,000 5G applications in various areas, including education, transportation, and healthcare, to name just a few. South Korea was one of the first countries to adopt 5G back in 2018. Two years later, in September 2020, the country’s 5G subscriptions reached well over 9mn, a number that is expected to climb as high as 40mn by 2025. Interestingly, only a quarter of South Korean mobile users have subscribed to 5G, despite the country having the world’s fastest average internet connection. South Korean telecom carriers are looking to invest US$22bn to commercialise innovative 5G technologies such as millimetre-wave 5G and standalone versions of 5G networks by the end of this year. Along with China, the United States is one of the biggest countries in the 5G industry. According to a recent Ericsson report, around 195mn 5G subscriptions are expected by 2026, with the technology accounting for 71.5 percent of the total US mobile market by 2029. The Cellular Telecommunication Industry Association (CTIA) predicts that the rapid growth of 5G technology could generate US$275bn in investment and US$500bn in econom...

Where does the data come from? The data is collected from tests carried out by users of the nPerf app. These are tests conducted in real conditions, directly in the field. If you'd like to get involved too, all you have to do is download the nPerf app onto your smartphone. The more data there is, the more comprehensive the maps will be! All test results are displayed on the maps. Filtering rules are applied before performance calculation for publications. How are updates made? Network coverage maps are automatically updated by a bot every hour. Speed maps are updated every 15 minutes. Data is displayed for two years. After two years, the oldest data is removed from the maps once a month. How reliable and accurate is it? Tests are conducted on users' devices. Geolocation precision depends on the reception quality of the GPS signal at the time of the test. For coverage data, we only retain tests with a maximum geolocation precision of 50 meters. For download bitrates, this threshold goes up to 200 meters. How can I get hold of raw data? Are you looking to get hold of network coverage data or nPerf tests (bitrate, latency, browsing, video streaming) in CSV format to use them however you like? No problem! Does a PRO tool for coverage maps visualization exist ? Yes. This tool is mainly intended for mobile operators. It has been integrated into an existing cockpit that already includes internet performance statistics from all operators in a country, as well as access to speed-te...
