$1.3 trillion will be spent on mobile networks across all technology generations in the next 5 years, and, according to the GSMA, a staggering 75% of this will be 5G investment. Yet despite the considerable CAPEX operators are prepared to invest in their 5G networks, research shows they are looking at 5G as a marathon not a sprint.
Why? Well, given the lessons learned from 4G roll outs and the knowledge there are a number of significant hurdles on the road to 5G, being able to solve these issues ahead of time will be critical to ensure the next generation of mobile technology does not become an investment blackhole.
