In total, Omdia expects some 215 million 5G connections to come from the continent this year, as the sale of 5G-powered phones continues to rise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5G is growing remarkably and scaling faster than any other previous generation of mobile wireless,\u201d commented Chris Pearson, president of 5G Americas. \u201cWhile deployments and connections are added at a significant pace, the promise of 5G will be realized by technological progress in areas like standalone architecture and network slicing for new use cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Kristin Paulin, principal analyst at Omdia, telecom operators are driving the adoption of 5G with lower prices and smartphone promotions, \u201cincluding some free smartphone deals\u201d. \u201cThis is helping to drive 5G adoption as there is wide 5G coverage in North America, making it likely to be in a 5G service area,\u201d she said. \u201cThe only other thing required is a 5G-eligible plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>5G Americas also reports that the number of 5G commercial networks in the world now reached 259, with the industry trade organization expecting 390 by the end of 2023. In two years\u2019 time, by the end of 2025, we might have more than 400, it said.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-mobile-hotspots-for-3g-4g-and-5g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best mobile hotspots<\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent\">\n<section>\n<p>Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-authorBio\">\n<p>Sead is a seasoned freelance journalist based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
