COVID-19 Impact on the 5G Digital Cellular Networks Market Analysis

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic had delayed the established timelines in the rollout of next-generation 5G wireless networks around the world. The covid-19 pandemic prevented standards meetings, occupied network operators and regulators' attention, and disrupted global technology supply chains, Thus, it has delayed global 5G launch by six months to next few years as network expansions are halted and new deployments are put on hold. These delays will have serious consequences for smartphone manufacturers, wireless carriers, networking equipment providers, and large enterprises of all sizes. For instance, according to Fierce Networks, Dish Networks (US) stated that it would launch its first 5G market in Las Vegas by the end of 2020. The organization then delayed the launch date to the first quarter of 2021, and then again to the third quarter of 2021. Currently the company states that the launch for "beta version" shall be organized in Las Vegas market in the fourth quarter of 2021, but only for 90 days, implying that the network will not be commercially available until early 2022. Additionally, Dish is expected to launch a greenfield 5G network, with its core network running in the public cloud and open RAN technology, unlike any other 5G network currently in operation in the United States.
