Can 5G Standalone save the telecoms industry from a 5G winter?

The high costs and low returns from 5G are seeing telcos pull back on spending on infrastructure and services. How can 5G be brought back from the brink, and can 5G Standalone prevent a cooling of progress?

5G promised us fast connection speeds at ultra-low latency, but also massive connectivity enabling new IoT applications, driverless vehicles, VR/AR, and more.

So why does it seem like telcos are hunkering down for a 5G winter, reducing their CAPEX spend or already looking ahead to 6G?

It’s undeniable that 5G hasn’t been the rip-roaring success many hoped for, and isn’t likely to be for a while – based on current forecasts, it will take until 2027 to become the dominant mobile standard, nearly a decade after its initial launch, and even then will only hold a 47% share of total subscribers, according to a recent Advancing 5G report.
