Yet, we remain right at the very start of this journey, with the first commercial 5G networks only just emerging. For enterprises, this is an awkward time. Clearly no one wants to miss out on the opportunity, but to date nothing is proven and plenty of questions remain unanswered.

Add to that the uncertainty that is currently being seen over the future of 5G in 2020. Indeed, Omdia 5G Practice Leader Dario Talmesio recently maintained that “we previously believed that 2020 was going to be the real year of 5G. This is no longer that case under the current circumstances”, whilst some in the industry – such as Belgian telco Proximus – are taking a definitive step back from their deployment plans. And, with companies around the globe looking to support their customers and countries during the coronavirus pandemic, telcos are being forced to prioritise investment and attention away from their 5G deployment plans.

This begs the question; where does 5G fit into the transformation plans of enterprises? With the changes we have seen in the world, has this changed the opportunity for businesses?

To help enterprises realise the future of 5G, and answer their business-defining questions, research powerhouse Omdia are conducting their annual Global 5G Market 2020 Survey which delves into critical topics including:

• The Reality of 5G Deployment
• The Business Case for 5G Deployment Globally
• The Commercial Opportunities for 5G Globally
• The Global Opportunities for 5G
• The Revenue Opportunites for 5G around the Globe

To say thank you, all respondents will receive a free copy of Omdia’s Global 5G Market Report, which will provide insight into the emerging 5G ecosystem that operators, enterprises and solution providers need to stay ahead of the curve.
