One forecast says that 5G will keep growing, with global connections reaching 5.5 billion by 2030.
What is fifth generation mobile communication technology（5G）?
The fifth generation mobile communication technology is a new generation of broadband mobile communication technology with high speed, low latency and large connection characteristics. 5G communication facilities are the network infrastructure that realizes the interconnection of humans, machines and things.
5G technology enables connectivity for nearly everyone and everything. 5G networks connect people, objects, and machines quickly and securely for free, enabling communication between them.
The main application scenarios of 5G include enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-high reliability and low-latency communications, and machine-type communications.
Enhanced mobile broadband aims to make mobile Internet faster to meet the increasing demand for mobile data. This will provide users with a better experience when using applications.
Ultra-high reliability and low-latency communications are important for industries such as industrial control, telemedicine, and autonomous driving. These industries need fast and dependable communication.
Machines communicate for smart cities, homes, and environmental monitoring by collecting data and sensing for specific applications.
5G is the fastest mobile technology to date. Experts project that there will be over 1 billion connections by 2022, 1.6 billion by 2023, and an astonishing 5.5 billion by 2030.
By January 2024, 261 companies in 101 countries are providing 5G services. Additionally, over 90 companies in 64 markets are planning to offer 5G services.
Commercial 5G services include 47 standalone networks out of 261, with an additional 89 planned for the future.
These services will use network separation, support for reliable low-delay communication, and a simplified 5G network structure.
The expansion of 5G SA networks and enhanced backing for private networks will link a multitude of devices. This will assist businesses in reaching their global IoT objectives.
According to a certain forecast, the enterprise sector currently has 10.7 billion IoT connections. We expect this momentum to continue.
By the year 2030, the number of business connections will surge to 38.5 billion, more than twice the current number. Enterprise connections will be comprised of 34% intelligent buildings and 16% smart manufacturing.
The main reasons for using 5G are multicast services and cheap IoT support, based on reliable information. Over half of operators plan to start using 5G-Advanced within a year of its commercial release.
According to reliable forecasts, mobile data traffic will increase fourfold between now and 2030.
Expanded 5G coverage and capacity will play an important role, demonstrating the importance of continued infrastructure investment.
Predictions indicate that the amount of data used per mobile connection will increase. In 2023, experts expect it to be 12.8GB, and in 2030, they project it to reach 47.9GB.
