Wireless Telecom Carriers Market to Value $1 Trillion by 2020

NEW YORK — The Wireless telecommunication carriers market will reach a value of about USD 1 Trillion in 2020, while also registering a CAGR of over 2.5 percent in the Americas region, according to a report by Business Research Company. The Americas are the largest market in wireless telecom services, which is a result of high Internet penetration, access to smartphone devices, and advancements in wireless technology. Changes in consumer preferences also influence value, as a high number of consumers prefer video streaming services over cable subscriptions. As a response to market demands, traditional cable companies are looking to augment their pay-TV business with communications services, changing their programming distribution beyond fixed lines, and more towards wireless streaming.

Emergence of 5G
Among the various factors which are expected to drive the growth of the telecom industry is the emergence of 5G. According to Deloitte's 2018 Global Mobile Consumer Survey: US edition, 60 percent of respondents indicated that 5G is now "important" to them. Among those who use their smartphones to watch video content weekly, that interest level increases to above 80 percent. The effects of 5G are also expected to reach beyond the telecom market, revealing the full potential of a wide array of technologies, like both AR and VR. For virtual and augmented reality to feel seamless and deliver value, an extensive bandwidth is required, and 5G will be able to provide.

Sprint Corporation
is a communications services company that creates more and better ways to connect its customers to the things it cares about the most. Recently, the city of Greenville, South Carolina announced plans to work with Sprint to build out a smart city infrastructure and ecosystem, set to leverage the power of 5G and the ground-breaking Sprint Curiosity™ IoT. The announcement, made at CES® 2019, entails the installation of innovative Massive MIMO technology, dedicated IoT network technology and more across the city. "Greenvillegovernment officials and staff are placing their trust in Sprint to power what will be one of the most forward-thinking smart city ecosystems on the planet, leveraging the power of Sprint mobile 5G and Curiosity IoT networks to bring smart city use cases to life," said Ivo Rook, Senior Vice President, IoT & product development at Sprint.

Telefónica, S.A.
is a company that is aware of the new challenges posed by today's society. The streets of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat will be the scenario of the connected car and 5G assisted driving use cases in a real environment thanks to the joint work of Telefónica, SEAT, Mobile World Capital Barcelona, Ficosa, ETRA e i2CAT, and with the collaboration of CTTC and UPC. Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. - a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated -, also participated, by equipping both vehicles and their surrounding elements with technology that enables them to exchange information with the main objective of increasing road safety. The project is framed within the 5G Barcelona initiative, aimed at consolidating the city of Barcelona as the reference 5G hub in Europe. The two technologies bringing these use cases to life are C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle to Everything) and C-V2X technology offers assisted driving by allowing the vehicle to communicate with all the elements around it (cars, traffic lights, traffic signals, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles...). In addition, for the cars to be able to "talk" to the city, latency needs to be minimal and, therefore, it is necessary to deploy 5G capabilities into the current network, specifically the Edge Computing server, a large distributed brain, hosting content and applications very close to where the user is consuming them.
