5G Device Ecosystem Prepared by GSA based on data from the GSA Analyser for Mobile Broadband Devices (GAMBoD) August 2019 © Copyright 2019 Global mobile Suppliers Association 1 Key facts In the first half of 2019, the number of announced 5G devices grew rapidly, starting with a few announcements and then gathering pace as operators in various parts of the world launched their first commercial 5G services. We can expect the device ecosystem to continue to grow quickly and GSA will be tracking and reporting regularly on 5G device launch announcements. Its GAMBoD database will contain key details about device form factors, features and support for spectrum bands. Summary statistics are released in this regular publication. By the first week of August, GSA had identified: Thirteen announced form factors (phones, hotspots, indoor CPE, outdoor CPE, laptops, modules, snap-on dongles/adapters, enterprise routers, IoT routers, drones, a switch, a USB terminal and robot). Forty-one vendors that had announced available or forthcoming 5G devices, including sub-brands separately (plus four in partnership with Sunsea). 100 announced One hundred announced devices, up from 90 at the end of June (excluding 5G devices in regional variants, re-badged devices, phones that can be upgraded using a total, excluding separate adapter, and prototypes not expected to be commercialised): regional variants and • 26 phones (plus regional variants); at least nine of which are now prototypes not commercially available expected to be commercialised • eight hotspots (plus regional variants); at least three of which are now commercially available • 26 CPE devices (indoor and outdoor, including two Verizon-spec compliant devices) at least eight of which are now believed to be commercially available • 28 modules • two snap-on dongles/adapters • two routers, • two IoT routers • two drones • one laptop • one switch • one USB terminal • one robot.
