3GPP - A mobile connected world

��ƽ�� trend report on 3GPP

5G - the new generation in mobile communication, was released in 2019, and as of end of March 2025, 345 commercial 5G networks have been launched around the world. 5G networks are the latest 3GPP standard – with speed between 10 and 100 times faster than 4G. Largely thanks to this massive increase in speed, 5G is expected to revolutionize mobile communication and enable the digitalization of many aspects of everyday life. Perhaps the most important aspect for future innovation of 5G technology is the ability to transfer massive amounts of data in real-time. 5G could serve as the basis for a "Fourth Industrial Revolution" and provide the connectivity required for smart cities of the future. In addition to these macro-level benefits, this technology will bring ease and efficiency to the lives of countless individuals around the world. We are already seeing practical examples of these benefits in many parts of the world as 5G deployment expands.

But are we boasting about this technology, or are there tangible effects of 3GPP that can be measured?

This ��ƽ�� report quantifies the impact of 3GPP mobile standards (commonly known as 3G, 4G & 5G) on today’s connected society, starting from the time that these technologies entered the market and providing insight into their future development; described in six dimensions:

Constantly evolving technology timeline
Growing penetration (adoption by end users) of the technology
Increasing affordability
Short time to market reflecting the popularity of the services
Progress of 5G adoption
Interoperability of mobile networks
