Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA said, \u201cSince Marty Cooper\u2019s first cellular phone call, North America has always been at the center of mobile innovation. Fast forward to 2023 and the same is just as true, as 5G enters maturity in the region and the industry makes great strides in new areas including AI, Web 3.0, quantum computing and more. At MWC Las Vegas we celebrate the mobile operators, startups, developers, cloud providers and policymakers who are showcasing how mobile connectivity is transforming our world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Findings from the GSMA\u2019s annual Mobile Economy North America report<\/a> show that in the US and Canada, ambitious rollout plans of operators and strong demand from consumers for new will see 5G overtake 4G this year to become the dominant mobile technology in North America, with adoption rates of 5G expected to reach 59% in the US by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

New at MWC Las Vegas<\/strong><\/p>\n
