Re: Ericson warns that it
will miss again
Jamok,
The deployment of 4G is pretty much done in the US, Europe and
most of the Far East; there are metro areas in all these regions
that due to congestion, will need to add more capacity (i.e.
additional cells), but these are small potatos. The third
world is still adding 4G but it is not extensive as they lack the
$$ to move aggressively. In the mean time for the
wireless segment, it is a service revenue and equipment replacement
revenue and capacity expansion type of operation.
So the question of when does 5G come around? It will start
slowly and begin around second half 2018. However, the
standards for 5G, and these estimates vary depending on who you
listen to, should also gel sometime between late 2018 and
late 2019.
It is because of standards that the deployment will start
sometime in late 2018, and it is why it will be a slow process.
