The post 5G NTN February 2026 – Annex appeared first on GSA.

As of December 2025, GSA had catalogued 4,058 announced 5G devices, with 3,658 (90.1%) commercially available — reflecting a 27.7% increase over the past year. The ecosystem spans over 40 device form factors from 330 manufacturers.

Key highlights from the December 2025 update include:

• Phones continue to dominate, with 2,165 models (at least 2,076 commercially available).
• Industrial routers or modems (391) retain second place, followed by modules (380), fixed wireless access CPE (359) and hot spots (114).
• At least 260 fixed wireless access devices for indoor and outdoor use are now commercially available.
• GSA identified 1,092 devices supporting standalone 5G in sub-6 GHz bands; 898 are commercially available.
• Regarding spectrum, 81.7% of devices support sub-6 GHz, but only 5.2% support millimetre wave. Dual support is found in just 3.3% of devices. Band n78 remains the most widely supported, followed by n41, n1 and n77.

GSA expects continued growth and increasing detail as more devices reach the market and become available in its GAMBoD database.

The post 5G-Ecosystem – Annex for Members December 2025 appeared first on GSA.

The global transition away from 2G and 3G networks is gathering pace as operators seek to modernize infrastructure and reallocate spectrum for faster 4G and 5G technologies. By December 2025, GSA identified 303 completed, planned or in progress 2G and 3G switch-offs in 88 countries and territories, underlining the continuing interest and investment in this strategy.

Europe leads globally in switch-off activity, accounting for 44% of all cases, followed by Asia (27%) and North America (7%).

This update also highlights that although some shutdowns are operator-led, others are mandated by corporate groups. For example, Orange Group aims for full 2G and 3G phase-outs across Europe by 2030.

Other key points:

•                     136 operators in 68 markets have completed or planned 2G shutdowns, with 46 of these already executed.
•                    167 operators in 67 markets are progressing on 3G switch-offs, 80 of which have already completed the transition.
•                    Many operators stated that they would complete the process in 2025; however, given that 2025 is drawing to a close, some are likely to complete in 2026.
•                    A majority (55%) of operators retiring older networks are upgrading to both 4G and 5G.

GSA Research-Report Calendar 2023

The post GSA Research-Report Calendar 2023 appeared first on GSA.

Update: Issue 5.1 – April 2022: Removed Askey, Unisoc, Zhongmi, Inseego, ASR Micro, Greenpacket.

The Fixed Wireless Access Device Ecosystem Directory contains an overview of the growing number of companies involved in the 3GPP Fixed Wireless Access Device Ecosystem.

Companies are grouped according to where they sit in the ecosystem (ie. Chipset Suppliers, Module Suppliers or Device Suppliers), and for each company a single page overview of who they are and where further information can be obtained is provided. A simple overview of all Fixed Wireless Related products being marketed at the time of issue by each company is also included.

As a living document published on the GSA Website the intent is to keep this updated with new companies or offerings to enable all those involved in the development (or assessment) of the ecosystem or procurement of the resulting devices to identify potential partners.

Established in late 2020, the GSA 4G-5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Forum brings together leading infrastructure, chipset, module, and device suppliers  to promote 4G and 5G FWA technology, products and services – to report on progress of FWA deployments, identify use cases and encourage global adoption.

3GPP based FWA is already widely used globally, and its adoption keeps growing fast with over 484 operators investing in 4G/5G FWA according to the GSA FWA report from Nov 2020. In addition, the current Covid-19 pandemic situation further illustrates the pivotal role connectivity and FWA can play as people work, study and socialize on-line. FWA can be a life changer by ensuring the availability of strong and reliable broadband connectivity wirelessly to people wherever they are, whatever they do. Connecting the unconnected was already a fundamental priority in a normal world, but, as we are seeing with the terrible pandemic situation that we are still facing, our mission to accelerate people’s access to broadband connectivity through 4G/5G FWA is only becoming more critical. This is true for developing as well as developed economies.

However one challenge for the industry in such a rapidly evolving market is to learn from each other, promote successful experiences and identify directions in technical development. By complementing the existing activities of our members, the GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum is committed to representing the natural voice of the fixed wireless ecosystem for operators and regulators globally.

The GSA 4G-5G FWA Forum’s “FWA Device Ecosystem Company Directory” is our first deliverable in our plan to facilitate interactions between the FWA ecosystem and MNOs globally. This document aims to educate the market about the variety of players of all sizes ready to help provide best of breed FWA service experience all over the world. The Forum is working on new initiatives that will keep improving the visibility of the various end user FWA devices available from our members to further promote the product information sharing between suppliers and operators. Stay tuned!
