From the perspective of GSMA’s Head of North America Ana Tavares, North America is ahead of the curve when it comes to 5G. At Mobile World Congress LA, Tavares told RCR Wireless News that while Korea and China are really “pushing hard” to establish 5G networks, North America “definitely” remains at the forefront.
Reiterating what GSMA General Manager Mats Granryd said in his keynote address earlier that morning, Tavares also brought up that some projections show that North America will have 50% of people covered with 5G in 2025. “That’s pretty impressive, especially when you compare it to Europe,” she added.
