1 According to IMARC Group’s new report, titled “ 5G Infrastructure Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025”, the global 5G infrastructure market grew at a CAGR of 52% during 2014-2019. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global market to continue its moderate growth by 2025. 5G (fifth generation) infrastructure is a network of macro and small cell base stations that integrates telecom, computer, and storage resources into a unified system. The infrastructure relies on network functions virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN), mobile edge computing (MEC), and fog computing (FC) technologies to boost agility, scalability, and attain ultra-low latency. It also supports throughput, high mobility, connection density, and multi-gigabit per second (Gbps) peak data speed. Currently, telecom operators are utilizing a non-standalone (NSA) approach to deploy 5G infrastructure.
