Omdia Ranks South Korea ‘Early Market Leader’ in Global 5G Deployment

South Korea leads the world in 5G deployment, with Kuwait and Switzerland close behind, reported Omdia Thursday. The researcher studied several metrics, including 5G operator launches, network coverage and subscriber adoption, and ranked South Korea as the “early market leader.” It topped the world with 4.67 million subscribers through December, “which equates to about seven per cent of wireless services in the market,” it said. The U.S. was in fourth place in an accompanying chart.
