The 5G era in the US
GSMA Intelligence is today publishing its latest research on 5G focusing on the US. Following progress led by both the mobile industry and government agencies, the US will launch early 5G commercial services later in 2018.
The report explores the current landscape and the future outlook for 5G, with a particular focus on network deployment, spectrum, use cases, and policy and regulation. As well as mobile use cases for consumers and enterprises, the analysis covers 5G-based fixed wireless, an area where the US is playing a pivotal role. The report also presents GSMA Intelligence forecasts for 5G, which show that the US will experience one of the fastest customer migrations to 5G in the world, with more than 190 million 5G connections by the end of 2025.
The GSMA appreciates the important insights provided by the four national mobile operators in the US – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
