Oct 7, 2021

LONDON, UK – The GSA today confirmed the number of announced 5G devices has surpassed 1000 and now stands at 1060, representing an increase of 21.4% in the last quarter alone. Among those 66.4% are commercially available, this proportion having grown by 26.4% over the last three months with number of available devices having passed 700 to reach a total of 704 devices.

The new “5G Device Ecosystem – End-September 2021” report reveals that 158 vendors have now announced available or forthcoming 5G devices across 22 different form factors. Devices recorded by GSA include over 500 5G phones and 188 FWA CPE devices.

The new report also details that by the end of September 2021 GSA had identified:

•             22 announced form factors.

•              158 vendors who had announced available or forthcoming 5G devices.

•              1060 announced devices (including regional variants, but excluding operator-branded devices that are essentially rebadged versions of other phones), including 704 that are understood to be commercially available:

o              523 phones (up 45 from August), at least 459 of which are now commercially available (up 35 in a month).

o              188 FWA CPE devices (indoor and outdoor), at least of which 89 are now commercially available.

o              138 modules.

o              70 industrial/enterprise routers/gateways/modems.
