About this report 5G is here Future value Business readiness Beyond the hype Overcoming barriers At Nokia, we create technology to connect the world. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of network equipment, software, services and licensing opportunities and with our commitment to innovation, driven by the award-winning Nokia Bell Labs, we are a leader in the development and deployment of 5G networks. Working with both communications service providers and enterprise customers, we are committed to playing a central role in this expansion. By developing powerful end-to-end 5G networks, we will transform how people live, work and communicate. The report combines research and analysis from Nokia Bell Labs; enterprise survey findings from Sapio; and the input, analysis and opinion of 5G experts around the globe – including Nokia executives, customers and partners, and some of the world’s leading consultants and opinion formers. Bell Labs Consulting uses Input-Output tables to capture the multiplicative impact of increased ICT spend on GDP to project changes in the overall economy as a result of investment increases in one or more sectors. Bell Labs Consulting calculates GDP multipliers that translate ICT investment in individual sectors to overall GDP increases for individual regions; regional numbers were then summarized to generate the global GDP.
