Ericsson Mobility Report: early movers pursue performance-based business models

Published

on

Global mobile network data traffic projected to grow almost 200 percent between 2024 and the end of 20306.3 billion global 5G subscriptions forecast by the end of 2030 – of which 60 percent are expected to be 5G SAReport includes case studies from T-Mobile (U.S.A.), Elisa (Finland), and stc (KSA)

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 5G Standalone (5G SA) and 5G Advanced are expected to be key focuses for communications service providers (CSPs) for the remainder of the decade as they deploy new capabilities to create offerings centered on value delivery rather than data volume. The analysis is included among a wealth of statistical network insights in the November 2024 edition of the Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) Mobility Report, which extends the forecast period until the end of 2030.

While the rate of mobile network traffic data growth is declining – estimated at 21 percent year-on year for 2024 – it is still expected to grow almost three-fold by the end of 2030 from present day numbers.

The report highlights how early-mover service providers are already offering value delivery models based on differentiated connectivity – guaranteed uninterrupted high-end connectivity when you need it most – to create new monetization and growth opportunities. Related case studies from T-Mobile in the U.S. and Elisa in Finland are included.

Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President, Head of Business Area Networks, Ericsson, says: “Service differentiation and performance-based opportunities are crucial as our industry evolves. This is highlighted in the November 2024 Ericsson Mobility Report, which includes detailed analysis, statistical insights, and customer use cases. The shift towards high-performing programmable networks, enabled by openness and cloud, will empower service providers to offer and charge for services based on the value delivered, not merely data volume. This report offers valuable insights into what our industry can achieve and the steps necessary to get there.”

The report underlines the global potential for differentiated connectivity development by highlighting that, beyond China, 5G mid-band is currently only deployed at about 30 percent of sites globally.

Of about 320 CSPs currently offering commercial 5G services, less than 20 percent are 5G SA. The densification of mid-band and 5G SA sites is seen as a key catalyst to capitalize on the full potential of 5G, including programmable and intelligent network capabilities.

Almost 60 percent of the 6.3 billion global 5G subscriptions forecast by the end of 2030 are expected to be 5G Standalone (SA) subscriptions.

On global mobile data traffic, 5G networks are expected to carry about 80 percent of total mobile data traffic by the end of 2030 – compared to 34 percent by the end of 2024.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) continues to grow in popularity globally as the second largest 5G use case after enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).

In four out of six regions, more than 80 percent of CSPs now offer FWA. The number of FWA service providers offering speed-based tariff plans – with downlink and uplink data parameters similar to cable or fiber offerings – has increased from 30 percent to 43 percent in the last year alone.

Western Europe has witnessed rapid growth in FWA speed-based offerings with 52 percent of CSPs in the region now doing so compared to 32 percent a year ago. Europe alone accounts for 73 percent of all 5G FWA launches globally in the past 12 months.

Of the 350 million projected global FWA connections by the end of 2030, almost 80 percent are forecast to be over 5G.

The report also addresses how AI, including Generative AI Applications – already integrated across smartphones, laptops, watches and FWA products – could impact uplink and downlink network traffic, driving potential mobile traffic growth beyond current baseline predictions.

Other featured report statistics include the projection that global 5G subscriptions are expected to reach almost 2.3 billion by the end of 2024, amounting to 25 percent of all global mobile subscriptions. 5G subscription numbers are expected to overtake the global number of 4G subscriptions during 2027.

The first 6G deployments are expected in 2030, building on and scaling the capabilities of 5G SA and 5G Advanced.

The 40-page report includes three case study articles:

T-Mobile takes network slicing from pilots to real-world scenarios (with T-Mobile in the U.S. About network slicing use cases.)Premium FWA services enabled in Finland with 5G SA (with Elisa in Finland. About Elisa’s 5G SA FWA offering.)A multi-New Radio (NR) carrier strategy for best performance (with stc in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Ericsson will host Ericsson Mobility Report online seminars at 09.00 (CET) and at 18.00 (CET) on Tuesday, December 3. To join please register via this link.

on

By

DUBLIN, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LUMA Vision, a leader in real-time 4D cardiac imaging and navigation, today announced its participation in the Heart Rhythm Society Annual Meeting (HRS 2026) in Chicago, where the company will showcase its VERAFEYE™ Visualization and Guidance Platform and highlight new clinical progress through physician-led presentations and scientific sessions.

At HRS 2026, LUMA Vision will demonstrate how VERAFEYE enables direct, real-time visualization of cardiac anatomy, catheters, and therapy delivery—a step-change from conventional imaging and mapping approaches. By combining live 2D and 4D intra-procedural imaging with precise digital anatomical models, the platform delivers CT-quality visualization in seconds, supporting faster, more intuitive, and more precise procedures.

VERAEYE is redefining EP Guidance — from tools to platform, VERAFEYE is designed to eliminate the fragmentation of current EP workflows by enabling physicians to see and guide therapy in real time, rather than relying on the traditional three separate systems of point-by-point mapping, ICE and fluoroscopy. Early clinical experience demonstrates the platform’s ability to:

Enable efficient single-operator workflowsSupport multiple ablation technologiesEliminate the use of fluoroscopyIntroduce a true two-catheter procedure

LUMA Vision will be featured across multiple sessions:

Wednesday, April 22 | 3:00 PM Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago
Dr. Shephal Doshi will present at the Stanford Biodesign New Arrhythmia Technologies Retreat, highlighting the role of real-time 4D imaging in advancing EP innovation.

Thursday, April 23 | 5:00 PM McCormick Place Convention Center • Room S406AB
Dr. Vivek Reddy will present “AF Ablation with a Large-Focal PFA Catheter & Integrated Guidance” at the 3rd Annual PFA LIVE Case Summit, featuring the VERAFEYE™ System in collaboration with CardioFocus.

Saturday, April 25 | Time 12:00 to 2:00 PM Abstract Pavilion, McCormick Place (Exhibit Hall)
Dr. Toni Breskovic will present new clinical data demonstrating real-world workflow validation and procedural impact.

“This is a defining moment not only for LUMA Vision, but for the future architecture of cardiac procedures. VERAFEYE is a globally unique, AI–powered system that sits at the intersection of electrophysiology, left atrial appendage closure, and structural heart interventions, designed as a unified operating layer rather than a standalone procedural tool,” said Fionn Lahart, CEO of LUMA Vision. “What we are introducing with VERAFEYE is a unified, real–time view of the heart that has the potential to become the foundation for how cardiac procedures are performed.  As the field advances toward next–generation ablation technologies, guidance will no longer be an accessory. It will be the AI–enabled decision–making platform on which everything else is built.”

Driven by advanced AI algorithms, VERAFEYE interprets cardiac anatomy in real time, creating a single anatomical and guidance framework that spans multiple procedures. This intelligent foundation establishes a common procedural language through which therapies can enable greater precision, more efficient workflows, and tighter integration across the cardiac ecosystem.

Throughout the week, attendees are invited to visit Booth #2415 to meet the clinical team and experience how VERAFEYE delivers CT-quality digital anatomy in seconds, enabling a new level of precision and control in EP procedures. As EP continues to evolve toward energy-agnostic, platform-driven workflows, VERAFEYE is positioned to serve as a foundational imaging layer integrating across mapping systems.
