KATHMANDU: There are currently four countries that provide 5G network services– South Korea, United Kingdom, Germany and the United States of America.

Over in Europe, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden are planning to create an interconnected 5G network amongst themselves. While the 5G race went sour during the US-China trade war, it has since become a matter of who can get the most out of testing facilities and infrastructure while also adequately supporting the telecom operators of their country.

5G Phones

All the big-name Smartphone manufacturers entered into a 5G race of themselves this year, with 5G variants releasing alongside its flagship counterparts.

Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, LG, Xiaomi and Motorola all released a 5G phone this year with Samsung releasing not only flagships but even releasing a 5G phone for their A-series devices.

Although one can argue that in order to tap into the unrelenting speed of 5G, one would not only need to buy these handsets but also be appropriately located, while also jumping through several carrier caveats; it is a step in the right direction and will only get easier.

5G was at the heart of each and every tech event this year. Huawei took to the stage several times this year to showcase everything that’s possible with the integration of 5G in our lives. Huawei hosted an event in September to bring forth their ideas with Global Industry Vision 2025 at the Asia-Pacific Innovation Day.

GIV 2025 focused on autonomous robots being a part of everyday life, how 5G can create roads and highway systems of the future and how it will be the gateway towards achieving truly frictionless communication.
