At the end of October 2022, a total of 20 countries had allocated mmWave spectrum for 5G, with almost 10 more announcing plans to do so over the next year. mmWave 5G service launches across seven countries provide insight into what the technology can deliver, but they also help highlight the room for growth that remains.

Building on these launches, the recent MWC Las Vegas 5G mmWave Summit showcased cutting-edge service experiences and technology innovations. It also added to the mmWave conversation by asking how consumers view the value of mmWave in support of 5G. What problems does it solve? How much do consumers value it? And how would they want to access to it? Answers to these questions were the result of a consumer survey by Qualcomm.

This report forms part of a series, in collaboration with Qualcomm, exploring in detail the survey data to better understand the mmWave value proposition for consumers. The series begins with the pain points mmWave can address.

The impact of spectrum pricing in Bangladesh

Spectrum
Spectrum
Mobile Operators and Networks

At around 16%, Bangladesh’s spectrum-cost-to-revenue ratio exceeds the Asia Pacific median (10.4%) and is twice as high as the global median (7.7%). High spectrum cost has been shown to negatively impact consumer outcomes, such as network coverage and speeds. Reducing prices by 50% would align spectrum costs closer to the Asia Pacific median at about 12% by 2035, boosting 4G speeds by 17% and enabling 99% 5G coverage, yielding a cumulative $34 billion GDP boost. Aligning costs to the global median of 8% of operators’ revenue would increase 4G speeds by 22% and accelerate 5G rollout further, generating a $45 billion GDP boost.

Connectivity trends in robotics: 5G and cellular IoT are only just emerging

5G
Internet of things (IoT)
Private networks
IoT & Enterprise

From a telecoms perspective, robotics was recognised early on as a key future use case during the planning and rollout of 5G around seven years ago. With 5G-Advanced now commercially deployed in early-adopter countries, it is timely to evaluate 5G’s real-world impact on robotics. We also explore how complementary technologies such as edge computing, IoT and eSIM are shaping the connectivity landscape.
