40 million Indians to upgrade to 5G within a year of commercial launch: Ericsson

NEW DELHI: 300 million consumers worldwide could upgrade to the fifth-generation or 5G technology in 2021 including at least 40 million customers in India within the first year of 5G being made available, according to an Ericsson ConsumerLab report.

The trials for the next generation technology are yet to commence in the country,

5G which will bring low-latency applications and open up new cases as well as revenue streams is being perceived as an improvement over its predecessor– the 4G technology, and this is reflected in consumers’ upgrade intentions too.
