The world was originally expecting countries around the world to accelerate the deployment of 5G networks in 2020. However, the COVID-19 spread globally has led to city lockdowns and governments of all countries have been forced to slow down their 5G construction. The pandemic has affected the global 5G commercialization speed and schedule. Various isolation measures have made it more difficult to deploy 5G base stations. Some countries have announced the extension of 5G spectrum bidding plans, which has also reduced consumers' willingness to adopt 5G. This report summarizes recent important developments of 5G development in five major regions, including Korea, the United States, China, Europe, and Japan, and analyzes possible impacts.
This report will be delivered within 3-5 business days.
