Shanghai, June 29 (IANS) China is expected to become the world’s largest 5G market by 2025, accounting for 430 million 5G connections, or one-third of the global total, according to a report released on Friday
According to the joint report by the Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA) and Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI), all three Chinese mobile operators are currently conducting live 5G trials as part of a multi-year plan that includes research and development and a network deployment strategy with a view to a large scale commercial launch by 2020, reports Xinhua news agency.
The report was released on the sidelines of the ongoing Mobile World Congress Shanghai.
It emphasized that China’s pre-commercial and commercial launch footprints will also be among the largest in the world in terms of base stations.
China’s leading role in 5G is backed by a proactive government intent on delivering rapid structural change, said Mats Granryd, director general of GSMA.
