As COVID-19 continues its firm hold worldwide, 5G investment has persisted. According to GSMA Intelligence, 5G will account for 21% of mobile internet connections by 2025, up from less than 10% in 2020. This rise in adoption will be driven by mobile operators, who are expected to dedicate more than 80% of their capital expenditure to build 5G infrastructure between now and 2025. However, as the post-COVID-19 era approaches, operators must address these key priorities to ensure that the hype of 5G is realized, says Ron Haberman, Chief Product Officer at Mobileum.
