The advent of the metaverse is expected to drive various 5G use cases. For instance, government bodies in the region have started outlining plans to harness the potential of the platform to increase the efficiency and quality of public services.
There will be more than 400 million 5G connections – equivalent to just over 14% of total mobile connections – in Asia Pacific by 2025, according to GSMA’s Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2022 report.
Today, 5G is commercially available in 14 markets, with others, including India and Vietnam, going live in the coming months.
