The global number of 5G subscriptions to top 190 million by the end of 2020 and 2.8 billion by the end of 2025, according to a report by Ericsson.

"The spread of COVID-19 has prompted people all over the world to change their daily lives and, in many cases, work or study from home. This has led to a rapid shift of network traffic from business to residential areas," says Fredrik Jejdling, Executive VP and Head of Networks, Ericsson.

FWA connections are forecast to reach nearly 160 million by end of 2025 - totaling about 25 percent of global mobile network data traffic.

At the end of 2019, global FWA data traffic was estimated to have been around 15 percent of the global total.

It is now projected to grow nearly 8 fold to reach 53 exabytes in 2025, representing 25 percent of the global total mobile network data traffic.
