"The new dimensions of 5G are triggering the development of new services and technology monetization. Most local governments in APAC support domestic 5G deployments because they help drive economic growth. Mobile operators look to 5G to drive new revenue streams beyond connectivity and help them regain competitiveness against fixed broadband providers," noted Mei Lee Quah, Director, ICT at Frost & Sullivan. "By 2025, 5G will attract approximately 70%–80% of APAC's investments in mobile networks."
Quah added: "5G is emerging at a time when customer experience is a key performance metric and a primary challenge for mobile operators. Customer experience needs to meet the rising expectations of 'always connected' consumers while also improving profit margins."
To take advantage of the 5G network growth opportunities, mobile operators need to focus on:
- 5G Deployments for Customer Segment Needs: Mobile operators must understand customers' evolving needs to adapt their offering to 5G capabilities.
- 5G-enabled MEC for Mission-critical Applications: As successful end-to-end solutions require synergistic partnerships and co-creation, regional mobile operators should research the potential of 5G and MEC to launch visionary products in a business-to-business (B2B) environment.
- 5G-enabled Business Solutions for the Enterprise Segment: Business leaders must adopt 5G to boost productivity, better leverage a remote workforce, and transition to a hybrid work structure.
