After years of research and development, 5G commercial launches have started, bringing new opportunities to businesses and consumers.
In the November 2018 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report we continue to deepen our analysis into what lies ahead for communications service providers as 5G hits the market. In 2024, we project that 5G will reach more than 40 percent population coverage and 1.5 billion subscriptions, making it the fastest generation ever to be rolled out on a global scale. In parallel, cellular IoT is making great strides – connections are set to pass the 4 billion mark by 2024, driven by strong uptake in North East Asia.
