Summary

米国調査会社ABIリサーチの調査レポート「【分析レポート：アプリケーション】米国の5G」は、米国の5Gのエコシステムを概説し、開発、周波数帯割当、M&A動向、主要な利用ケースなどを記載している。中国、日本、韓国などに比して、米国はモバイルサービスプロバイダの強固な財政的な地位、高度な通信エコシステム、5Gの周波数割当の完了、活動的で柔軟性の高い規制当局などの優位点がある。すべての4社のモバイルサービスプロバイダが5Gサービスを2019年第１四半期末に開始するが、各社は異なった手法をとっている。ベライゾンはまず家庭用5Gブロードバンドに注目し、AT&TはWi-Fi経由の5Gホットスポットをすでに販売しており、Tモバイルは低域の国内カバレッジに注目していて、スプリントは2.5GHzとアップグレードできるマッシブMIMOアンテナに注目している。調査対象企業は、AT&T、スプリント、Tモバイル、ベライゾン、エリクソン、ノキア、サムスンである。

The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the 5G ecosystem in the United States, including deployments, spectrum allocation, M&A activities, and main use cases. Compared to other early movers such as China, Japan or South Korea, the United States has a unique position based on its mobile service providers' enhanced financial position, developed telecommunication ecosystem, already allocated 5G spectrums, and active and flexible regulatory authorities. All four MSPs will start their 5G service the end of Q1 2019, however, operators are using different methods: While Verizon is focusing on 5G home broadband first, AT&T already started to sell its 5G hotspot which is sharing throughput over Wi-Fi, T-Mobile is focusing on nationwide coverage in low-band, and Sprint is focusing on 2.5 GHz and the upgradeable Massive MIMO antennas.

Beyond the first 5G related industrial applications,  the report also includes a forecast about the number of the 5G capable devices and 5G subscriptions in the United States. During 2019, ABI Research expects that mobile service providers will deploy eMBB first in megacities, dense urban areas, live sharing locations (e.g., stadiums and concert venues), urban commuter routes, spectrum exhaust areas, and company and university campuses. ABI Research gives a holistic overview of the key players in the U.S. 5G landscape: vendors, mobile service providers, furthermore also present the upcoming trends, potential M&A activity. Overall, this summary examines the main bottlenecks and opportunities, and aims to help understand one of the most influential 5G early adapter in the world.

Companies profiled in this report include AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung.
