Vertiv And 451 Research Release New Report On 5G Preparedness And Technical Enablers
With 5G deployments advancing rapidly, operators share plans for dealing with increasing densification, higher energy consumption.
Vertiv, together with technology analyst firm 451 Research, has released the report on the state of 5G, “Telco Study Reveals Industry Hopes and Fears: From Energy Costs to Edge Computing Transformation.” The report captures the results of an in-depth survey of more than 100 global telecom decision makers with visibility into 5G and edge strategies and plans. The research covers 5G deployment plans, services supported by early deployments, and the most important technical enablers for 5G success.
Survey participants were overwhelmingly optimistic about the 5G business outlook and are moving forward aggressively with deployment plans. Twelve percent of operators expect to roll out 5G services in 2019, and an additional 86% expect to be delivering 5G services by 2021.
