"The survey comprised a list of LTE and 5G deployments by operator and region, using deployment data from the industry trade organisation made up of telecommunications service providers and manufacturers, and with subscriber and forecast data provided by analyst Omdia. In all, the analysis found that as of 15 November 2025, there were 379 commercial 5G networks deployed worldwide, including 17 in North America, alongside 707 LTE networks globally. 5G Americas said this infrastructure expansion was key to supporting skyrocketing demand for ultra-reliable, low-latency connectivity."
"The study revealed that North America remains one of the world's most technologically advanced 5G markets, achieving what the study said was "exceptionally high" adoption levels driven by strong consumer uptake and strong technological leadership, including enhanced 5G features that improve performance, efficiency and real-world network intelligence for consumers and enterprises alike. In terms of 5G penetration, the US accounted for 341 million 5G connections against a population of 344 million - one of the highest 5G penetration rates globally."
Global 5G connections reached 2.8 billion by Q3 2025. There were 379 commercial 5G networks and 707 LTE networks worldwide as of 15 November 2025. North America recorded 363 million 5G connections, representing nearly 95% of the region's population, and the United States accounted for 341 million 5G connections against a population of 344 million. Asia led in absolute 5G volume with 2 billion connections. Infrastructure expansion supported demand for ultra-reliable, low-latency connectivity and enabled enhanced 5G features that improve performance, efficiency and real-world network intelligence for consumers and enterprises. 4G LTE and 5G fixed wireless access totaled 78.14 million connections at the end of Q3 2025.
