5G usage is expanding in Europe with variances in user experience highlighted by Opensignal's research. Poland's 5G download speeds increased by 57% year-on-year, while Sweden's dropped by 23%. The analysis identifies three key trends: mixed 5G speeds, the importance of the 3.5GHz band for performance, and the incorporation of lower bands. It notes that increased network congestion and spectrum usage are crucial factors affecting download speeds, suggesting that infrastructure scaling may hinder performance improvements due to regulatory challenges.
The analysis of 5G performance across Europe shows some regions like Poland experiencing significant speed increases, while others like Sweden face declines. This disparity arises from differences in spectrum use and network congestion.
Mobile users in Poland and the Netherlands saw improvements in 5G speeds, contrasting with declines in Sweden and Denmark. The 3.5GHz spectrum plays a significant role in enhancing download speeds.
Increased network congestion from more users adopting 5G contributes to performance degradation, making investments in physical infrastructure essential but challenging due to regulations.
The 3.5GHz band is crucial for 5G because it effectively balances coverage and capacity, vital for delivering enhanced mobile broadband services across Europe.
