Today, the main connectivity offerings for consumers and enterprises are based on a best-effort performance model. High-performing, open, programmable networks that utilize 5G standalone (SA) architecture provide new opportunities for service innovation and open up possibilities for performance-based business models.5G is an innovation platform for driving digital transformations of businesses and society. In this edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, we take a closer look at a leading service provider’s journey toward realizing a programmable network, and a new era of performance-based business models built upon differentiated connectivity and an open network infrastructure.5G: Empowering digital transformation through innovationOn the forecast side, we have adjusted the mobile network data traffic numbers downward compared to our previous report. This is mainly due to lower numbers being reported by regulators and service providers in populous markets for the second half of 2023. However, the predicted yearly mobile data traffic growth rate between 2023 and 2029 remains similar, although from a lower starting point.The deployment of 5G is still ongoing, and is far from complete. We continue to see a robust uptake of 5G subscriptions worldwide, anticipating the addition of nearly 600 million new 5G subscriptions in 2024. To fully realize the potential of 5G, there is a need for continued deployments of 5G SA and additional densification of mid-band sites. To date, around 50 service providers have deployed or launched 5G SA in public networks, and the global expansion of 5G mid-band coverage is primarily propelled by extensive deployments in India and North America. However, only around 25 percent of all sites globally, outside of mainland China, have been upgraded to 5G mid-band.In this edition, we also explore the significance of 5G mid-band for user experience, finding that smartphone users connected to 5G mid-band benefit from faster time-to-content and an overall enhanced user experience when accessing the internet and streaming video content.This edition also investigates how early access to new 5G network functionalities within the framework of a 5G innovation program is allowing enterprises to develop and test new connectivity solutions through cross-industry collaboration.I trust that you will find this report engaging, and that it offers valuable insights as we navigate the evolving landscape of 5G.Fredrik JejdlingExecutive Vice President andHead of Business Area NetworksContentsExecutive Editor: Peter JonssonProject Sponsor: Patrik CerwallProject Manager: Anette LundvallForecasts: David von KochWriter Editor: Steven Davis Co-writers: Has
