The global 5G race is rapidly heating up, with countries leading in technology battling to roll out their own 5G networks. Already we have seen South Korea announce the world’s first 5G network in April and also the world’s first commercialized set of 5G networks, beating the US by a margin of just two days, as Verizon’s own 5G launch followed suit soon after. The success of South Korea correlates to new findings from A10 Networks that Asia Pacific (APAC) is leading in implementing plans to roll out 5G networks.
