The current leader of the 5G patent race

Now that the fifth-generation technology for telecommunication companies have started to pave its way into the industry, several broadband competitors are trying hard to lead the 5G patent race. However, according to the infographic, the current leader of the 5G patent race is the Chinese manufacturer Huawei.

A lot of you might be wondering how are the companies determined to be leading this race? This question has a very straightforward answer i.e., the more the number of 5G patents owned by a company, the higher its rank would be. Now as per the analysis of IPlytics, Huawei has been granted over 15% of active patents.

iPhone 12 declared as the best 5G model in the world

Apple launched new iPhone models, including iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, on 23rd October 2020; the launch was supposed to happen earlier but was delayed due to some reasons. There were only two weeks of sales in that month, which were enough to declare the iPhone 12 as the best 5G model in the entire world, followed by the iPhone 12 Pro as the second best. The infographic shows the 5G models sales in October 2020, and iPhone 12 tops the list with a total of 16% sales in just two weeks. Before iPhone 12, Samsung Galaxy 20 Ultra 5G was the world’s best 5G model.

The U.K. government planned to phase out the Huawei 5G technology and as part of that plan, it is banning the installation of the new Huawei 5G equipment from September of next year. The government announced back in July that it would be barring firms from buying new equipment form Huawei starting from January 2021, due to the national security concerns revolving around the Chinese tech company.  


This means that any telecoms companies that have stockpiled Huawei equipment ahead of January 2021 will not be able to use them for long-term 5G rollouts. Reports suggest that several companies have been stockpiling the equipment since summer. However, firms possessing old Huawei equipment will still be able to maintain it after September.  


On the other hand, matters of the ban enforcement and the laws regarding it will be set by a new legislation in the Parliament this week. Furthermore, telecoms companies could be fined up to 10 percent of turnover or £100,000 per day if they fail to comply with the new security standards, according to the Telecommunications Security Bill requirements.

Digital cities and the digital future

Internet of Things (IoT) have been a very important innovation for us. With automation being promoted everywhere, it is assumed that in a short while, everything will be automated just like those science fiction movies. We have automated, self-driving cars today, even our homes are automated. However, with such technology, we are now looking at deployment of IoT on a bigger scale, such as a whole city.

As cities are growing, the implementation of IoT and edge computing technologies can grow to be more useful in maintaining public order and a safe environment. Technology can also provide a way to improve effectiveness and efficiency of public and emergency services without major expenditure. By 2050 7.5 billion people are expected to reside in the cities – this number is the amount of people living in the world today.

5G internet is the next big thing for the internet. The comparison between 4G and 5G is striking and never has any other generation seen such spikes in internet speed and performance difference. 5G is noticeably faster than 4G but the market for 5G is still very immature. This technology is only active in four countries.

In comparing the download speeds of 4G and 5G networks, we have seen a huge difference. According to data analysis, Saudi Arabia had the highest download speed than any other country with 414.2 Mbps, which is 14 times higher than the download speed it is getting on 4G. South Korea has some of the fastest broadbands and mobile network and even with 4G it holds up exceptionally well. Even so, the 5G networks amplify the download speeds to 312.7 Mbps, which is five times faster than its 4G network.

The Growth of 5G

5G is an upcoming internet technology that is faster and more reliable than its predecessors. Currently, 5G technology has not been commercialized, which is why it is not commonly seen, but, in a few months, probably by the end of this year, the majority of the world would have switched to this technology.

It took 12 years for the 3G networks to gain a billion users after it was launched in the 2000s. At the same time, the 4G network grew three times faster than the 3G network – mainly because by the time 4G was launched, more people were aware of mobile networks and its capabilities. The 4G network took only four years to gain a global reach of a billion users.

4G and 5G - Reviewing the Basic Difference

Just about more than a year ago, we could have said that we were living in the era of 4G. However, things look very different in the Internet world at the moment. With the advent and introduction of 5G, people are drawing comparisons as to the actual need of 5G and its benefits over 4G, if any.

 Downloading speed is always one of the major enhancements whenever a new generation mobile internet service comes out. Even if we do not download huge amounts of data at once, for example, movies and games, we are always uploading and downloading data on a daily basis. Even the act of receiving and sending data on the Internet is dependent upon the speed of your connection. So the speed is even more important if you use a mobile internet connection more than wifi.

5G is the next best thing for the internet that is to be commercialized. However, some countries have implemented this technology and are now enjoying its services. South Korea is the leading country that has fully adopted the 5G network on a large scale. Hence, they lead the industry by a good margin and will be even ahead when other countries catch up to this technology.

According to the GSMA Intelligence, if this trend continues to grow, just in 5 years, South Korea will have 60% of cell phones connected on the 5G network, followed by 50% in Japan and the USA and around 28% in China. If that is the case, the 5G market will be one of the hottest industries in the coming years.
