Wireless Industry Report Summary: 50th Anniversary and Growth

The 50th anniversary of the first cellphone call highlights advancements in wireless technology, with key achievements including:
- Record-breaking data traffic in 2022, where the U.S. wireless network supported over 73.7 trillion MB of data, a 38% year-over-year increase, the largest ever jump in mobile data traffic.
- Growing demand predicted, with average monthly smartphone data use expected to reach 58 GB by 2028, up from 14 GB in 2023.
U.S. wireless networks demonstrate leadership through significant investments and economic impact:
- Investments reached $39 billion in 2022, a 12% increase annually, contributing $825 billion to the economy and supporting 4.5 million jobs.
- The U.S. has world-leading 5G availability, with 325 million Americans having access to a 5G network and nearly 162 million active 5G devices by the end of 2022.
5G adoption and use are expanding, enabling innovations such as:
- Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart cities, advanced manufacturing, and precision agriculture, with 5G accounting for nearly one-third of wireless connections.
- Growth in 5G home broadband, which now covers 94 million households and accounts for 90% of net broadband additions in 2022.
Spectrum needs are critical for sustaining wireless innovation:
- The U.S. is projected to lack sufficient spectrum to meet increasing wireless data demand, requiring at least 400 megahertz in the next five years and nearly 1500 megahertz by 2032.
- Without additional spectrum, continued economic security and technological progress could be jeopardized.
Other highlights include:
- Expansion of infrastructure, such as small cells, enhancing coverage and capacity.
- Consumer benefits, including reduced data costs (a 98% decrease in cost per megabyte from 2012 to 2022) and increased competition in home broadband markets.
- Continued usage of voice and text services, with Americans spending nearly 2.5 trillion minutes on calls and exchanging over 2.1 trillion text messages in 2022.
