Four million smartphone users in Canada are expecting to upgrade to 5G services over the next 12-15 months, according to a recent survey carried out by Ericsson.
This figure represents 17% of the country’s smartphone users, according to the European vendor. Ericsson also noted that Canadian service providers may help these users realize their intentions by addressing consumer segments typically known to take up 5G first—such as early tech adopters, heavy users of mobile broadband and people who already own 5G-ready smartphones but don’t have a 5G service plan.
