North America seems to be leading the race to launch commercial 5G services, according to a new study by IHS Markit.
The study revealed that 82% of mobile operators globally are participating in 5G tests and trials, but only about 12% – all from North America – plan to commercially deploy the technology in 2018.
“Get ready, 5G is around the corner,” said Stéphane Téral, executive research director, mobile infrastructure and carrier economics, IHS Markit.
