A new report from Ericsson analyzes the impact that 5G has had on early adopters since its launch, and looks at the perspective of non-5G subscribers interested in adopting the technology. Among the claims in the report, Ericsson said migration to 5G is enabling early adopters to put metaverse technology to the test.
5G: The Next Wave claims that about 30% of all smartphone users plan to upgrade to a 5G subscription in 2023, or about 510 million people. The new study extrapolates that figure by examining the activities of 49,000 consumers in 37 countries. Ericsson says the poll is the largest consumer survey that it’s ever conducted, on any topic.
