SNS Research's latest report indicates that R&D spending on 5G wireless technology is expected to reach $3 Billion annually by 2020.

While wireless carriers aggressively invest in LTE upgrades and small cell deployments to serve their growing capacity demands, several initiatives are already underway which aim to set requirements and drive development for 5G technology.

The recent collaboration deal between South Korea and the European Union to jointly define global standards for 5G signifies the importance of global harmonization, which is necessary to ensure the full potential of the technology, is met.

While 5G is yet to be fully defined, many believe that 2020 will mark the start of the 5G era with a potential infrastructure revival, as consumer mobile broadband subscriptions peak to over 70% and M2M connections continue to proliferate.

Driven by government led initiatives, academic institutes and the private sector, we expect 5G R&D spending will account for nearly $3 Billion by 2020, up from $500 Million in 2014.
