GSMA – State of 5G, 2024

The GSMA report, State of 5G, 2024, reveals that the global number of 5G connections has reached over 1.5 billion by the end of 2023, marking it as the fastest-growing mobile broadband technology. Despite this, there is a growing digital divide between high-income and low- to middle-income countries. Even in countries with 5G, the technology has not yet fully utilized its potential in terms of digital transformation, economic impact, and commercial value. The report underscores the need for strategic interventions, enabling policies, and targeted investments to ensure the widespread evolution of 5G.
