Description:
By 2027, there will be ten times as many 5G connections as we have today, 
Juniper report claims.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

By the time we reach 2027, there will be billions of 5G connections out 
there, all thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), new research has claimed. 

A report from Juniper Research expects IoT connections to make up more than a 
quarter of all 5G roaming connections by that timeframe. In raw numbers, 
thats 142 million connections, an increase of almost ten times, as this year 
- 15 million connections were recorded. 

The biggest growth driver will be the deployment of 5G standalone networks, 
Juniper further explains. Compared to todays 5G networks, which heavily lean 
into 4G infrastructure, standalone 5G experience will offer even higher 
speeds and lower latency, but also private networks and many other advanced 
services. As a result, businesses and consumers will seek connectivity via 
autonomous driving, augmented reality tools, or healthcare tools. Gradual 
transition 

The jump wont be sudden, Juniper also said. Most devices and sensors will 
remain on LTE-M and NB-IoT networks, while the transition to non-standalone 
5G networks will be done on an as-needed basis. As a result, telecom 
operators will be expected to support blended traffic between LTE and 5G. 

Analyzing the current condition on a geographical level, Juniper sees Western 
Europe as a key IoT 5G roaming market. Currently, the region makes up roughly 
5% of the global population but is expected to take up more than a fifth 
(21%) of 5G IoT roaming connections in five years. Read more

To further capitalize on the growth of 5G IoT roaming in West Europe, 
operators must form roaming agreements that leverage standalone 5G networks 
to improve network performance for roaming connections, and provide the same 
level of service when roaming as they do on home networks, said Juniper 
analyst Elisha Sudlow-Poole. These are the best phones right now
