Although 2019 to 2020 is a likely time frame for
the first commercial 5G network. And the following are the four countries most likely to have the earliest
and biggest 5G debuts.
South Korea
South Korea became the first country to market with a 5G network. Korea Telecom made a splash in
early 2017 with its announcement that it would roll out a trial 5G
network ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, And expected to cover all events in Seoul, Gangneung, Bokwang, Jeongseon, And PyeongChang.
China
China is also in race to be a fast-mover in 5G. 5G could account for 3.2 percent of China’s entire GDP in 2025,
generate 8 million jobs, and add 2.9 trillion yuan in economic value by
2030. As hungry consumers demand more and more 5G services, the country
expects a huge increase in the number of new companies, employment
opportunities, and equipment sales.
Japan
According to Nikkei Asian Review, NTT DoCoMo and Sohgo Security Services demonstrated an advanced
security
service based on 5G network technology to determine the effectiveness
of the service in handling security for the opening ceremonies of the
2020 Olympics. The trial involved the use of artificial intelligence
(AI), a drone with an HD 4K camera, and smartphones.
The United States
The United States has some advantages in the 5G network race. Namely,
the U.S. already has a lead when it comes to existing 4G networks,
thanks to spectrum holdings and the use of unlicensed spectrum. The
United States also leads the way in spectrum efficiency, permitting the
repurposing of broadcast spectrum for broadband. However, the United
States also has disadvantages slowing it down in the 5G network race
between countries. Local and municipal governments hold zoning authority
over cell towers and base stations, which can slow down authorization —
a potentially bad sign for 5G, which will be characterized by a dense
network of small cells.
