IDTechEx Explore Key 5G Trends to Watch Out for From 2023 Onwards
Where does 5G stand three years after its first commercialization in 2019? Let's start with the frequency band. We know that the sub-6 GHz (3.5 - 7 GHz) and millimeter wave (mmWave, >24 GHz) bands are the two new bands among the spectrum covered in 5G. Despite the hype surrounding mmWave, according to IDTechEx's "5G Market 2023-2033: Technology, Trends, Forecasts, Players" report, 53% of 5G commercial/pre-commercial services are actually based on sub-6 GHz, with mmWave accounting only for less than 10% of the market.

Mango Power
Mango Power focus on developing home power supply solutions, portable power devices, and further accessories. Their mission is to bring smart green energy products into every home and help form a zero carbon emission future. They launched their first product, the Mango Power Union, in 2021, which features a detachable design to merge home and portable power solutions. This acts as a portable power station (PPS).
A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS product uses LFP cathodes and claims to be electric vehicle (EV) class.
