The forecasts to 2030 include connections by region and technology generation, smartphone connections and adoption, and mobile operator revenue.

Despite the slow pace of deployment over the years, open RAN is still a technology priority in 2023, according to the GSMA Intelligence Network Transformation Survey. Although there is still clear interest in open RAN, there are also concerns with the technology.

At this year's MWC Las Vegas, there was a conspicuous shift in focus to the enterprise dimension, reflecting the opportunity (and need) to monetise 5G in ways beyond the consumer, with the US high-tech economy presenting a natural proving ground. Over 380 companies displayed their latest innovations while showcasing the hottest trends in mobile connectivity and digital innovation. In this report, GSMA Intelligence examines the top five takeaways from the show and what they mean for the industry.

This report is the first part of a new series, called 5G Next, to better understand the next phase of the 5G era and to highlight promising technology innovations that are shaping networks. This report explores reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) solutions, which can help with the delivery of cost-efficient 5G deployment and make more economical use of higher spectrum bands in indoor and dense urban environments.

To succeed in making sustainability a key strength in product marketing, the various vendors of networks, cloud, IT, IoT and security solutions, including operators, need to help enterprises to make smart business decisions that simultaneously have a positive impact from a sustainability perspective. To achieve this, a set of guiding principles is essential, which we provide in this report.

How will rising enterprise data traffic and workloads affect overall energy usage and efficiency? And what can operators, vendors and others do to mitigate energy consumption? To answer these questions, GSMA Intelligence surveyed 100 operators and developed a model to simulate the impact of changing enterprise traffic flows across a range of industries.

Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) technology has been available for more than 10 years, but its relevance has grown of late. The arrival of 5G is increasing commercial pressure on operators to retire 2G and 3G networks, refarm spectrum and use more efficient technologies.

The shutting down of previous generation networks and the rollout of 5G deployments are expected to boost the pace of VoLTE launches over the next few years. This GSMA Intelligence VoLTE forecast provides data at the regional, country and operator levels, including historical data back to 2018 and forecasts out to 2030.

Fixed and pay-TV markets continue to evolve around the world, with M&A, competition (including from OTT players) and technology investments being major drivers. This quarterly series outlines the latest market developments and the key trends to watch, charting the period to 2030.

The GSMA Mobile Economy series provides the latest insights on the state of the mobile industry worldwide. The reports contain a range of technology, socioeconomic and financial datasets and analysis, including forecasts out to 2030.

This report serves as part of a broader research partnership with Arm to understand how best to decarbonise compute, how this can be achieved and why this matters for the ICT industry.

Operator strategies continue to evolve in the digital era as the telecoms industry seeks to capture new growth opportunities in the consumer and enterprise markets.

In this report, we present the state of play of private networks (4G and 5G) in terms of commercial activity, how relationships with other ecosystem players are developing and the revenue expectations for private networks. Going forward, operators need to pin down their private network strategies as soon as possible, and this report provides a guide for crafting such strategies, good practices to follow and pitfalls to avoid.

Underpinning the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a shared promise by every country to work together to secure the rights and wellbeing of everyone on a healthy, thriving planet. However, at the halfway point on the way to 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are in deep trouble. This report demonstrates the mobile industry's continued commitment to the goals, and identifies areas where the industry needs to improve or accelerate its actions to achieve the 2030 Agenda.

IFA, the consumer electronics and home appliance trade show, was back in full force for 2023 with around 180,000 attendees from more than 135 countries. Key developments from the show spanned five areas: sustainability in consumer devices and appliances; the smart home; AI in consumer devices and appliances; smartphones and wearables; and gaming.

Across the mobile industry and beyond, getting the right intelligence is key to understanding spectrum dynamics and to inform business decisions. This quarterly series leverages the GSMA Intelligence Spectrum Navigator tool to identify key trends and insights. The report outlines the latest important developments in the spectrum world and the key trends to watch going forward.

This latest report in the Digital Societies series examines the five key components of a digital nation (infrastructure, innovation, data governance, security and people) and maps the aspirations of governments in the region to these components. The report considers the role of emerging technologies, such as AI, blockchain, drones and quantum computing, in building digital nations.
