5G Enterprise and Consumer Commercial Use Cases Update and Telco Go-To-Market Strategies

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

5G will power next-generation use cases beyond wireless voice and data, managed mobility, and 4G and LPWA IoT applications. Moreover, support for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) is one of the primary benefits associated with 5G and is enabling both B2C and B2B use cases.

The 5G enterprise and consumer market report provides a status update on the commercially deployed or in trial 5G use cases globally, focusing on operator services for consumer and enterprise adoption of 5G ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), fixed wireless access (FWA), private wireless networks, and 5G massive machine-type communications (MMTC). It also outlines the go-to-market strategies that telcos have adopted for these commercial and in-trial 5G offers in terms of positioning and use case examples.

What are the market dynamics of the 5G enterprise and consumer industry?

Network operators are beginning to launch standardized commercial B2B services following public 5G network roll-outs and also focusing on customized opportunities with private 5G. Use cases in the enterprise that leverage 5G URLLC and MMTC (for massive IoT) are still in their infancy but trials have started to become more common. As private networks have accounted for most enterprise 5G adoption so far, with industrial enterprises in verticals such as manufacturing, transportation, logistics, and utilities representing much of the activity, telcos should meet demand with solutions that take advantage of their strengths in network implementation as well as complementary capabilities in IoT and managed services.

The dearth of strong, varied, and easy-to-deploy 5G use cases in the consumer market drove operator activity in the area of FWA as a simple, often prepaid, connectivity option for homes and second or holiday homes, particularly during COVID-19 lockdown. In some markets, FWA is also being deployed as a failover solution for home fixed-broadband, and increasingly operators are looking to provide this option built into the set-top box, to help underline a reliability and quality message for higher-spend home broadband consumers.

What are the key segments in the 5G enterprise and consumer market?

The key segments in the 5G enterprise and consumer market are URLLC, MMTC, and eMBB and FWA.

URLLC

URLLC will be key for use cases that require real-time data and video collection, quick response rates and instant analytics, AR/VR, and robotic and autonomous vehicle control.

MMTC

MMTC will become another important 5G use case as the speed, capacity, and density planned for 5G rollouts can support very high volumes of sensor readings, including data collected via LPWAN networks. MMTC accommodates a large number of IoT SIMs.

eMBB and FWA

eMBB and FWA are providing industrial businesses with private networks for secure in-building and campus connectivity. 5G-powered wireless WANs and fixed and mobile 5G access are becoming flexible primary and backup connectivity methods for business communications.

Who are the key players in the 5G enterprise and consumer market?

The key players in the 5G enterprise and consumer market are AT&T, China Unicom, Claro Brasil, Deutsche Telekom, Elisa, Ericsson, Globe Telecom, HPE, IBM, KDDI, Maxis, Nokia, and NOS.

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
