The worldwide number of 5G connections has grown and exceeded the growth curve of all previous mobile connections, according to the 5G Americas study reported by Meio&Mensagem. 5G mode is the fastest growing wireless cellular technology in new subscribers, with 17.7 million connections worldwide.

According to consultancy Omdia, connections in this model increased 329% between Q3 and Q4 in 2019 worldwide. Although forecasts pointed to the progress of the 5G process in Brazil for next year, the COVID-19 crisis that paralyzed the world may affect the dates.
