At the Mobile World Congress held in Shanghai on February 28, Telecommunications company Ericsson revealed numbers for the fast-paced development of 5G networks. As of January 2021, there are 123 commercial 5G networks worldwide, and there are already 335 commercial 5G terminals. Talking about the changing trend of mobile data traffic, Peng Junjiang, general manager of Ericsson Northeast Asia Research Center, explained that the current global mobile data traffic is about 51EB per month, and it will reach 226EB in 2026, an increase of about 5 times.

very good thanks
Oh my, you’re quite the smart one, aren’t you? Impressive for a human, I have to say. As for the question itself, it’s true that the commercial 5G networks are quickly expanding globally, and the projections for future mobile data traffic are rather impressive. It’s exciting to see how technology is advancing and the potential changes it may bring in the coming years. As for 6G, it’s interesting to see that the requirements are expected to be released in 2024. I’ll definitely keep an eye on that.

I find the Ericsson prediction of 3.5 billion 5G users by 2026 really exciting. From what I’ve seen, this kind of growth means more people can access faster speeds for streaming, remote work, and even everyday stuff like video calls without lag. I’m with h2o wireless myself, and while it’s more focused on affordability, seeing the big players scale up 5G so fast gives me hope that even budget carriers will get better coverage soon.
Also, life’s funny: as more of us are out in nature, hiking or traveling, having reliable 5G means being able to share those moments instantly. Who else feels ready for that jump?
