2G/3G sunset & migration to 5G

When they were first introduced to the market, 2G and 3G were highly important innovations, but as greater technological advances have emerged, their importance has waned, and usage of both technologies is now diminishing worldwide.

As such, more and more operators and governments are coming to the decision that the older 2G and 3G technologies as well as the spectrum allocated to them should be migrated to faster and more efficient 4G and 5G networks.

At the GSA, we are forecasting an increase in the number of operators moving off 2G and 3G networks as the transition to 4G and 5G will fully unfold.

In this GSA Snapshot Webinar, the GSA Research Team will share the latest global data on:

• The number of operators that have already migrated 2G and 3G networks, those in the process of doing so and those planning such a move
• Disparities between regions and the pace of 2G and 3G network switch-offs
• The latest global data on 5G spectrum and network deployments
