Era of AI, cloud and mobile
The explosive growth of AI is undeniable. Shifts in user engagement, traffic patterns and network demands are expected as AI becomes embedded in our devices, vehicles and cities, commonly connected by 5G. Mobile networks are moving beyond providing best-effort connectivity to become intelligent, critical infrastructure, as reflected in the rise of 5G standalone (SA) deployments and the global growth in differentiated connectivity and network slicing offerings.
The adoption of 5G continues, and the number of 5G subscriptions has now passed 3 billion.
The proportion of FWA service providers offering the service over 5G has increased to 71 percent.
The number of commercial 5G SA network slicing offerings has increased from 65 to 84 in just 6 months.
