How Ericsson Hopes to Gain Ground in China

China is so interested in 5G (fifth-generation) technology that the country reportedly explored combining two of its top operators to try to speed up 5G development and gain an advantage against the United States and Europe in the 5G race. In Europe, telecommunications equipment vendors and network operators have warned authorities there that the region risks falling behind China in the 5G race if the connected vehicle regulations being worked on end up favoring Wi-Fi technology over cellular connectivity in vehicles. In the United States, T-Mobile (TMUS) has also talked about the risk of the country losing the 5G race to China if its proposal to combine with its rival Sprint (S) is rejected by regulators.
