It’s estimated that the number of 5G subscriptions will reach 190 million by the end of 2020 and an incredible 2.8 billion by 2025.
And now, iPhone users are no exception! With the recent announcement of the new, 5G-enabled Apple iPhone 12, Strategy Analytics forecasts that Apple will become the leader in 5G smartphones surpassing Samsung. “As carriers roll out 5G in the United States, a significant number of consumers will adopt the service quickly — if it delivers on its promise of faster speeds and better coverage,” said Kevin Westcott, Vice Chairman, Deloitte LLP, U.S. Telecom, Media, and Entertainment.

The wireless industry has coalesced around three primary use cases for 5G: enhanced mobile broadband, IoT, and high-reliability, low-latency networks. Learn why 5G is poised to deliver the exciting promises of a connected world.
With the anticipated growth of 5G, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the requirements for enterprise-wide adoption. Just remember that 4G LTE has only now reached maturity and is far from obsolete. But just because 5G is in its infancy now, doesn’t mean you should sit on the sidelines and wait for it grow, so what you do now determines how successful your implementation is later on.
Expect 5G technology to make its way into the existing frequency bands over the next two or three years and to be in widespread use by 2022. But, what you need to do now depends on your existing system. Here are a few guidelines to give you an idea of what to expect as you move to 5G.
We’ve all seen the ads, 5G is here, now. But, it was a long time in the making. It took about 25 years to go from 1G, introduced in the eighties, to the move to digital: 2G, 3G, and then to 4G, introduced in 2010 in the U.S. 5G has been in the works since 4G was released. So, when will it be a reality for you?
Any new end-to-end mobile network deployed today must adopt basic 5G system architecture principles even if it’s using LTE access. Operators should embrace these key principles that underpin the foundation of the 5G system architecture.
