We recently published a report with a model of the global “5G” connections for 2021 to 2026, combined with the bandwidth these connections are expected to generate. Obviously, this is a model of what could happen, rather than a strict forecast of activity in 2017 or 2018 – looking ahead five to 10 years is too problematic for a traditional forecast.
So why did we take this approach and model the market for 2021 to 2026? Because it made us look hard at what is happening in the world’s mobile markets today, the developments that are taking place now and what will need to be done in the next few years in order for 5G to achieve commercial service at the end of the decade.
