More than 100 million mobile phone subscribers have signed up for 3G, enabling the wireless technology to reach an important "critical mass," said a Strategy Analytics report on Thursday.
Some 70 million subscribers have signed up for WCDMA technologies, while about 30 million are using CDMA2000 EV-DO solutions. Other market researchers have noted that EV-DO started its marketing push later than the WCDMA service providers.
"Much of this success is due to the strong pushes by influential carriers like NTTDoCoMo, Hutchison 3G and SK Telecom," said Sara Harris in a statement "and more recently Vodafone and Verizon Wireless, who have worked hard to drive 3G uptake among their subscribers." Harris is the senior analyst who authored the report.
The market research firm said the U.S. market is expected to grow rapidly next year when Cingular Wireless – the largest U.S. mobile phone provider – deploys its HSDPA technology.
Network slicing could be the answer to 5G rollout – but it's not easy to implement. Automation provides a way forward.
Wi-Fi 7 products, due out in 2024, will offer significantly more performance for enterprise users and can support more users in denser environments compared to Wi-Fi 6.
6G will leverage many different bands and tools to meet the ever-growing demands and expectations for cellular communications.
