As telecom operators get ready to roll out 5G, vendors are already cashing in. In order to offer 5G connectivity, operators need 5G radios. And, demand is racing ahead of the supply.
Companies like Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Samsung and ZTE more than doubled the type of 5G radios they offer, according to Global Data’s 5G RAN Competitive Landscape Assessment.
“Every major radio access network (RAN) equipment vendor reports that 5G has advanced faster than they had predicted, and they’re all racing to keep up with market demand,” said Ed Gubbins, Principal Analyst at Global Data.
