According to the report, South Korea with 85 cities has the maximum 5G availability in the world, followed by China available in 57 cities and the United States with 50 5G-enabled cities. The U.K. bags the fourth position with availability in 31 cities.
In terms of regional coverage of mobile and fixed wireless 5G networks, \nEMEA leads the way with deployment in 168 cities. Asia has deployed the network in 156 cities and thus bags the second position in the bandwagon. America bags the third position with deployments in 54 cities, the company mentioned in its report.
The company further added that the 5G operators have a heady mixture of optimism and uncertainty with the deployment.
“The optimism is related to a plethora of new commercial applications that could change operator economics for the better, even though they may not feel the commercial impact for some time. The immediate fear is that they will get left behind in the short-term marketing battle by rival’s operators if they’re not fast enough in their land grab,” said Sameh Yamany<\/a>, chief technology officer, VIAVI.
“Even as operators continue their 5G build-out, they will simultaneously have to shift gears from network validation and verification through to advanced analytics and automated network troubleshooting,” Yamany further added.
The report's findings also indicate that a number of operators are blanketing the largest population centers, with as many as five communications service providers (CSPs) deploying 5G in cities such as Los Angeles and New York.
