GSMA Intelligence has released the latest edition in the Global Mobile Trends series. Much has changed since our first publication in 2015. Technology has advanced and companies have come and gone. As always, the purpose of Global Mobile Trends is simple: understand the biggest and most important things happening in telecoms and the broader TMT industries, and explain what they mean for people, companies and governments.
This Global Mobile Trends report examines the biggest developments expected in 2024. These include 5G’s next wave; the impact of generative AI; 5G-Advanced; new experiences from 5G-enabled services such as FWA; the future of entertainment; cloud and edge compute; private wireless; eSIM; the rise of satellites; and sustainability strategies.
This comprehensive report draws on GSMA Intelligence data, survey findings and industry conversations to focus on the trends that matter most and what they mean for those in telecoms and beyond.
