Next Steps for 5G

Mobile carriers are rolling out 5G networks and smartphone manufacturers like Apple are retooling their devices to take advantage of the new mobile standard. 5G networks offer devices access to more bandwidth, enabling faster download speeds that could eventually hit up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) and gigabit/s upload speeds.

As we see the industry looking to take advantage of the new mobile standard, at CommScope, we want to continuously be at the forefront of what is next for 5G. We sponsored a survey done by telecoms.com intelligence recently to understand what should be expected for 5G in the years to come. Here are a few takeaways:

? 41% of all who answered the survey felt 5G has either met or exceeded their expectations

? 74% of the respondents expected to see 5G enable new use cases to generate additional value

? 54% of the survey participants believed the failure to deliver on 5G’s high promises would be their biggest worry

In conclusion, the survey notes that most industry professionals were happy with what 5G has achieved in its first commercial year. I invite you to discover what industry leaders think the future of 5G holds and read the survey today!
