Reimagining connectivity for the digital age Businesses are now rapidly adopting 5G networks , which are enabling faster speeds , lower latency and greater device connectivity . This in turn is leading to the continuation of innovative projects such as the Internet of Things ( IoT ), cloud computing and edge computing to enable more efficient networks .
“ 5G is the best technology yet for high-quality service ,” states Katherine Ainley , CEO of Ericsson UK & Ireland .
“ We ’ ve seen robust growth for 5G , particularly in the UK , which has achieved around 85 % outdoor coverage by at least one operator . By the end of 2029 , 5G is projected to account for approximately 60 % of all mobile subscriptions globally .”
However , as Katherine explains , successful 5G rollouts will take time , as operators are starting to shift towards 5G standalone architecture . “ Currently , there is a disparity across Europe between total 5G population coverage and bid-band coverage ,” she says .
