5G is being deployed globally, with initial rollouts focusing on major cities and urban areas across North America, Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. Countries like the United States, South Korea, China, and members of the European Union have been leading in the deployment. The expansion covers a mix of dense urban environments to provide high-speed connectivity and enhanced capacity, as well as selected suburban and rural areas to improve broadband coverage. Deployment strategies vary, with some regions focusing on 5G NR (New Radio) standalone networks and others utilizing non-standalone networks that depend on existing LTE infrastructure.
