Current status of 5G networks in various countries: South Korea ranks first in penetration rate, the United States ranks first in network speed, what about China?

In the rapidly developing 21st century, one of the major directions of global development is the Internet, and on the basis of the Internet is the rise of 5G technology. We all know that China's 5G technology has always been at the forefront of the world and is the first country to develop 5G technology, but in fact other countries are not weak in their 5G development.

In the past year, although Huawei's 5G technology has encountered some twists and turns, it still achieved good results. At present, the countries with the best 5G technology development in the world are China, South Korea and the United States. The development of these three countries also has its own advantages. The current status of 5G networks in various countries: South Korea ranks first in penetration rate, the United States ranks first in network speed, and what about China?

South Korea's technological development has always been at the forefront of the world, especially in the electronics industry, with the existence of the giant Samsung. In addition, due to South Korea's small geographical area and small population base, it took the lead in 5G penetration rate. In May last year, the penetration rate reached 10%, and it is estimated to be at least around 20% in the new year.

The United States' advantage in 5G is its network speed. The United States uses a millimeter wave solution, which has a high cost and a long construction period, but the network speed after completion is faster than that of other countries. In the test data, the United States' download speed reached 2G, while South Korea's was 600 megabits and China's was 270 megabits during the same period.

What about China? In fact, China has the fastest development in 5G, and ranks first in the world in base station construction and the number of 5G users. By the end of 2020, the number of 5G base stations in China has exceeded 700,000. China accounts for about 70% of all 5G base stations in the world, and the number of 5G users is close to 150 million, which has an absolute advantage.

China has a huge workload in building and popularizing 5G nationwide. The huge population base and geographical area will definitely require a trade-off in network speed. However, I also believe that in the near future, China's 5G will shine. Do you readers have any different opinions on this? You are welcome to leave a message in the comment section.
