The Heavy Reading 2020 5G Network & Service Strategies Operator Survey is designed to provide insight into how operators will scale 5G networks and identify the service strategies operators believe will drive investment and customer value. Developed in association with the report sponsors, the survey questionnaire was fielded to respondents in the Light Reading service provider database in January 2020. It was open only to employees of communications service providers (CSPs).

Wireless telecommunications technology has undergone a tremendous evolution in the last few decades, from making simple phone calls (1G) and sending text messages (2G), to connecting to highspeed internet (3G) and providing multimedia and entertainment services (4G). Futuristic technologies such as remote robotics and virtual reality are emerging quickly and are likely to see mass adoption, while 4G cellular networks have reached capacity limits and are incapable of supporting the uninterrupted operations of these services. It is estimated that data will reach 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025, up from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010, when 4G was first being deployed globally. 5G therefore provides a much-needed mobile bandwidth infrastructure for a world of connected objects and smarter cities.

The evolution and large-scale deployment of fifth generation “5G” wireless networks over the next few years will require complementary 5G services by offering ubiquitous and reliable coverage across numerous geographies. Terrestrial networks are currently focusing on delivery of 5G services to areas already being served by existing cellular technologies, but the unique capabilities of non-terrestrial networks can help expand the reach of 5G technology in the realization of new use cases

Distributed industrial applications rely on the quality of service (QoS) of the underlying communications system, which has to meet the application requirements in each case. Some industrial use cases pose highly demanding communication requirements and are therefore quite sensitive to any changes in the QoS.
