Report Overview: 5G mmWave Enters the Global Mainstream

mmWave 5G bands have encountered some growing pains on a global scale since initial launch due to a litany of factors. However, recent market trends have indicated that future deployments are likely to gain traction in countries outside the United States and Japan. As field experiences in these nations have confirmed viable use cases along with the maturation of network equipment and mobile devices, mass-market deployments are expected to begin again in key regions. Currently, there are four primary use cases that exist for investment in 5G mmWave infrastructure. Operators are prioritizing these use cases as 5G networks are completed, most notably in the Asia-Pacific region. Considering new technologies will enhance coverage and reduce infrastructure costs, TechInsights has a favorable viewpoint on the trajectory of mmWave.
