The fifth generation of wireless technology, 5G, is finally here. An upgrade over 4G, 5G promises to offer higher throughputs, wider bandwidths, greater capacities and lower latencies with future 3GPP Releases. Leading cellular operators have started deploying 5G NR Non-Standalone (NSA) networks, though the coverage is bound to ramp up this year. At Counterpoint, we are estimating 5G to grow faster than 4G in terms of device availability and costs as well as operator-side deployments.
