Launched in 2019 by various companies and telecom operators, 5G majorly improves speed, latency, and bandwidth compared to its predecessors. It provides faster download and upload times, stronger connectivity, and better reliability. The advancement of 5G marks a major upgrade from 4G technology. The technology behind 5G relies on cellular infrastructure that divides service areas into smaller regions called cells. Devices within the cells connect to the network via radio waves, base stations, and antennas. 5G uses higher frequency bands, including millimeter waves, which provide substantial data transfer rates. This is what results in enhanced network speed and capacity. It's worth noting, though, that high-frequency signals do have a limited range. Which means they require closer proximity to cell stations. Maintaining coverage and performance of high-frequency 5G networks requires extensive infrastructure development---including installing numerous cell stations. ## What is SD-WAN? ## ![SD-WAN Architecture Explained](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/images/cyberpedia/sdwan-and-5g/sd-wan-architecture-explained.png) [SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-sd-wan?ts=markdown) is a networking technology that applies software-defined networking principles to manage and optimize the performance of wide area networks (WANs). It allows organizations to securely connect users, applications, and data across multiple locations, improving performance, reliability, and scalability. How? By providing centralized control and visibility over the entire network. SD-WAN simplifies WAN management. It works by virtualizing the WAN service to connect and extend enterprise networks over large geographical distances. SD-WAN uses various links, like [MPLS](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/mpls-what-is-multiprotocol-label-switching?ts=markdown), wireless, broadband, [VPNs](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-a-vpn?ts=markdown), and the internet, to provide access to corporate applications and resources regardless of location. SD-WAN monitors WAN connection performance and manages traffic to maintain high speeds and optimize connectivity, offering better security and reliability than traditional WANs. ## What is the state of the 5G market? "In the United States alone, telcos spent roughly $100 billion to purchase 5G spectrum at auction in 2021. Despite these substantial infrastructure investments, the adoption and monetization of 5G are still in their infancy." \-McKinsey \& Company, Navigating the three horizons of 5G business building While there's no shortage of enthusiasm for 5G, the reality is that deployment is still in progress. Plus, the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions postponed carrier rollout plans. * [GSMA Intelligence](https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/connectivity-for-good/mobile-economy/) forecasts that there will be 5 billion 5G connections by 2030. * [5G Americas](https://www.5gamericas.org/5g-continues-robust-momentum-growth-and-drives-demand-for-more-wireless-spectrum/) has higher expectations, predicting 7 billion 5G connections by 2028. * On the other hand, [McKinsey \& Company](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/navigating-the-three-horizons-of-5g-business-building) estimated that only one-quarter of the world's population will have access to high-band 5G coverage by 2030. [McKinsey](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/navigating-the-three-horizons-of-5g-business-building) also reported that telecommunication providers are expected to invest around $600 billion in 5G infrastructure from 2022 to 2025. In any case, one thing is for sure: The growth of 5G will come with significant costs. It's true that 5G coverage will expand substantially, but the fact is that it will primarily extend to the periphery. Basically, coverage is increasing---but for now, most of it's concentrated in major metropolitan areas. Carriers are only just beginning to offer more affordable data plans with unlimited access. Also, 5G network slicing, which provides guaranteed QoS and dynamic resource allocation, is currently available only in select U.S. cities. From an enterprise perspective, adoption of 5G technology is varied. The industry is still exploring use cases and business opportunities that use the advanced specifications of the technology. In fact, the prospect of pairing SD-WAN with 5G is an evident example of this. ## What is the state of the SD-WAN market? "By 2026, 60% of new SD-WAN purchases will be part of a single-vendor secure access service edge (SASE) offering, up from 15% in 2023. By 2026, generative AI technology embedded in SD-WAN offerings will be used for 20% of initial network configuration, up from near zero in 2023." \-Gartner, Inc., 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN The SD-WAN market is experiencing rapid growth and maturation due to the increasing demand for flexible, cloud-based networking solutions.
