5G networks will become mainstream by 2020: Global Data

According to the new report by research and consulting firm Global Data, 5G networks will become mainstream by 2020, but Europe will lag behind Asia and the US, as operators seek to make the most of 4G.

The report says that while over half of all mobile subscriptions will be 5G-capable in South Korea by 2022, compared only to 7 percent in Europe. Upin Dattani, Senior Manager - Europe for GlobalData Technology, says: "Some mobile markets, such as South Korea and Japan, are well-suited to 5G, with widespread fiber availability, small cell deployments, advanced 4G networks and supportive regulators. "In Europe, operators are keen to obtain a good return on the substantial capital expenditure made in 3G and 4G investments. While European operators see benefits from more reliable and responsive next generation networks, technological progress will likely be at a more measured pace." Although, some pre-standard 5G network trials are being conducted in 2017 worldwide, with a few standardized, commercial services set to commence in 2018 and many more operators launching during the following two years. Peter Jarich, Chief Analyst for GlobalData Technology, adds: "Hopes are running high for the potential of 5G to truly transform mobile business models, and tap new revenue opportunities moving beyond consumers and into diverse digital industries. The implications go beyond any individual operator to impact national and regional competitiveness. "Despite this, for all the efforts to fast-track early 5G deployments, it's important to recognize that 5G rollouts will take years to complete; no region or country has won or lost the race to 5G yet."

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line.
