[New] CSPs will gradually add stand-alone (SA) capabilities to their non-stand-alone (NSA) 5G networks, and Gartner predicts by 2023, 15% of CSPs worldwide will operate stand-alone 5G networks that do not rely on 4G network infrastructure.
[New] The measure aimed at building six hundred thousand 5G stations by the end of the year is enormous and could provide China with a qualitative advantage in all technologies being built based on 5G.
[New] Most data will move to an edge environment before the end of 2025 as 5G networks push connectivity to new limits, which means service providers need more speed, bandwidth, and security than ever before.
[New] The plan from Beijing is to accelerate the deployment of full stand-alone 5G networks, meaning the low latency and IoT portions, particularly at the local level in Chinese provinces that are not well developed and are eager for digital transformation that will be enabled by 5G.
[New] 5G connectivity could add as much as £38 billion to the UK economy over the next five years, and £158 billion over the course of a decade.
55% of UK adults support the UK government's ban on UK mobile providers buying new Huawei 5G equipment after the end of 2020 and removing all components from their networks by 2027.
Removing Huawei kit from the 5G network could take five to seven years, while taking it out of the entire UK telecoms network could require a decade.
Boris Johnson is expected to bar the Chinese tech giant Huawei from playing any role in Britain's 5G network, triggering a renewed clash with Beijing.
Today's UK decision to ban the procurement of new Huawei 5G equipment from the end of 2020 will delay rollout by a year and will add up to half a billion pounds to costs.
The move to remove Huawei equipment from the UK's 5G network by 2027 will cost billions and delay the deployment of 5G by up to three years, but the UK is trying to broker a post-Brexit trade deal with the US.
In the immediate term, banning Huawei could delay the rollout of 5G networks in Britain by two years, as well as add up to £2bn to its cost.
Fixed broadband service revenue will grow at a CAGR of 3.7% over the period 2019-2024 to reach US$ 77.1 billion by the end of 2024 led by growth in FTTH/B and fixed wireless subscriptions and overall fixed broadband ARPU over the forecast period.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government will ban Huawei from Britain's 5G network by ordering telecoms companies to remove its equipment by 2027.
The UK is reportedly planning to allow Huawei to supply certain kinds of 5G equipment regarded as less of a threat to Britain's network.
Throughout 2020, the UK will be witnessing the wider rollout of 5G telecommunications networks, allowing for greater speeds and reduced latency.
Even though no new Huawei UK equipment can be bought by UK mobile carriers after the end of 2020, the fact that the UK has until 2027 to remove Huawei's 5G kit from all of its network could be seen as a potential positive.
Britain could simultaneously welcome foreign investment and defend its values, after China warned Britain not to reverse its commitment to allow Huawei, a Chinese tech giant, into the building of its 5G network.
The impending deployment of 5G networks in 2020 is expected to boost the adoption of IoT devices, with technologies like network slicing gaining more prominence.
5G is expected to reach 80 million subscriptions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by 2025, representing 10% of total mobile subscriptions.
