5G is now a mainstream technology and global success with nearly 1 billion
subscribers already enjoying the high speeds the new generation offers. Previous
generations created the applications and the hunger for high-speed connectivity on the go, and 5G is building on those to deliver high-quality, faster, and more consistent connections. There are now hundreds of smartphones and devices that support 5G, hundreds of mobile operators have switched it on, and it is becoming available to the mainstream audience, not just high-tech premium subscribers. 5G is now giving us a glimpse of what future generations will bring and what new types of applications and use cases it will enable, in both consumer and enterprise domains.

This new generation arrived during a turbulent time in the global environment.
Geopolitics, the consequent economic turbulence, and the COVID-19 pandemic are
making the telecoms market a more challenging environment in which competition
is fierce and price wars are normal. However, telecoms networks, with 5G being a
protagonist, have shown how critical they are to ensure that markets and economies keep working. For example, telecoms networks have been vital to ensuring business continuity, that teleworking has been possible at a global level, and that many economies could continue to be productive and generate value. 5G, although in its infancy, played a big part in ensuring consumers and enterprises remained connected and enabled new types of use cases.
