5G Devices: Ecosystem Report September 2019 –
The report was update 15th October 2019.
GSA has announced 129 5G devices in total, excluding regional variants and prototypes not expected to be commercialised.
In the first eight months of 2019, the number of announced 5G devices grew rapidly, starting with a few announcements and then gathering pace as operators in various parts of the world launched their first commercial 5G services. We can expect the device ecosystem to continue to grow quickly and GSA will be tracking and reporting regularly on 5G device launch announcements. Its GAMBoD database will contain key details about device form factors, features and support for spectrum bands. Summary statistics are released in this regular monthly publication.
