Even though 5G has a better adoption rate than 4G, governments and operators will still need time to map the perfect global implementation strategy.
Many think that adopting 5G will take as long or even longer than 4G. But that's not the case, and statements from Verizon vice president Heidi Hemmer will help you understand why.
Furthermore, according to the latest Ericsson reports on mobility, 5G adoption managed to far exceed the 4G adoption rate in 2020 despite being a difficult year for everyone.
What makes 5G faster than 4G and So what technical difference between 4G and 5G why?
A statement from Inseego Adam Gould's SVP of Product Management summarizing the answer to this question is that 4G was limited to smartphone users, but 5G is something more.
Implementing the 5G volume will be challenging and time consuming
Even though 5G has a better adoption rate than 4G, governments and operators will still need time to map the perfect global implementation strategy. Implementing any mass generation network has had its challenges and with 5G it will be no different.
However, Hiedi said, with current generation equipment, once operators can install the equipment, further upgrades can be performed via the software. Therefore, the initial phase of 5G rollout will take time, but later, with the help of the software, you can manage most of the network settings, updates and more.
Gould noted that 4G has helped users bring their social network to life, but 5G will have a much broader application than that. With the help of high-bandwidth, low-latency networks, the role of Internet of Things (IoT) products will grow rapidly around the world.
He said companies now prefer wireless networks for their operators and want to rely less on cables. With 5G all this is possible.
One of Ericsson's 5G reports suggests that by the end of 2026, approximately 3.5 billion 5G subscriptions will be sold worldwide.
