South Korea currently leads in 5G speeds globally

South Korea, one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, is reported to have the fastest 5G download speed in the world, reaching over 350 megabits per second (Mbps). The latest wireless technology has the world wrapped around its fingers, with the countries and tech giants worldwide busy setting up their infrastructure to utilize the technology better.

However, it was reported that South Korea’s 5G download speed stood at an average of 351.2 Mbps, followed by Saudi Arabia at 272.8 Mbps and Taiwan at 247.7 Mbps. As the country is home to BTS and tech giants like Samsung, it is only natural that it strives to improve its infrastructure.

As we know, South Korea’s country was the first to commercialize, the latest 5G in April last year, and has racked up just under 10 million 5G users as of end-October. A country report indicates that the country’s 5G users spent connected to the network at 24.6 percent. However, the country is yet to commercialize the standalone version of 5G, requiring support from past generation networks, such as 4G LTE.

The country’s three major mobile carriers promised earlier this year to spend up to 25.7 trillion won ($23.3 billion) until 2022 to update network infrastructure and establish nationwide 5G coverage.

The development of the latest wireless technology and the successful implementation require the wide implementation of technology’s quantum spectrum. As to which country will first become the top to commercialize the technology is yet to be seen.
