1、THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF 5G-ENABLED TECHNOLOGYA STUDY FOR QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDMARCH 20231The Global Economic Potential of 5G-Enabled TechnologyKEY FINDINGS:The fifth generation of mobile networks,5G,is being rolled out rapidly and is expected to significantly transform the capabilities of m

2、obile networks not only through faster speeds but also with additional benefits such as lower latency and greater traffic capacity.The new use cases enabled by 5Gs enhanced capabilities have the potential to significantly improve productivity across the world.These use cases are already helping busi

3、nesses increase productivity by supporting flexibility and generating cost and time savings and will continue to do so in the coming years.For example,a majority of the business executives surveyed for this study expect 5G to enhance productivity by accelerating the pace of automation to address lab

4、or shortages(78%).The size of the economic opportunity from 5G-technologies depends on the speed of rollout,the spectrum used,and the extent to which new use cases are adopted.Our modeling indicates that the connectivity improvements enabled by mid-band 5G mobile networks are projected to contribute

5、(1.1%)to global GDP in 2030 through productivity gains.These projected benefits will be enabled through new use cases,services and applications,and business models that are facilitated through speed,latency,and traffic capacity improvements in 5G networks.Complementing mid-band 5Gs capabilities by u

6、sing mmWave spectrum could increase the productivity benefits significantly;combined use of mid-band and mmWave spectrum is expected to contribute(1.7%)to global GDP in 2030.In other words,our modeling indicates that the GDP boost enabled by 5G using the mmWave spectrum constitutes almost 10%of the
