Global 2G and 3G Switch Off Market Overview:
As 5G is emerging in the networking market, the issues around the shutdown of older networks are increases. Major players already decommissioned their legacy networks while others have announced their plan to do so. Some small Asia countries have no longer any 2G networks, after a government or regulatory decision. Shutting down 2G or 3G is technically define as LTE supersedes 2G and 3G mobile technologies. At a period of moving away from 2G is painful for many IoT and M2M companies, it is a necessary measure to get more stable and better networks in return. 3G and 4G coverage are growing fast, LTE-M and NB-IoT networks are steadily rolling out and many module makers already support them. Some of the players profiled in the study are AT&T (United States), Verizon (United States), China Mobile (China), NTT (Japan), Telefonica (Spain), Deutsche Telekom (Germany), America Movil (Mexico), Orange (United Kingdom), China Telecom (China), KDDI (Japan), China Unicom (Hong Kong), T-Mobile (United States), Bell Canada (Canada), Telus (Canada) and Telenor (Norway).
On the basis of geography, the market of 2G and 3G Switch Off has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). If we see Market by Technology, the sub-segment i.e. 2G will boost the 2G and 3G Switch Off market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.
