The pace of 5G deployments accelerated in 2020 and the ecosystem is maturing rapidly, with 140 commercial 5G networks deployed in 59 countries. More than 800,000 5G sites have been rolled out worldwide, and the price of compatible handsets has dropped to as low as $350.

Data from GSMA Intelligence forecasts in four or five years 5G will account for as much of half of total mobile connections, which means LTE networks will continue to support the majority of data traffic in many countries for at least another decade as it remains the underlying pillar for the user experience.

For nations yet to roll out 5G, LTE coverage will be even more important, since it is the foundation for mobile broadband connectivity.

These were some of the key takeaways from speakers at the Wireless Foundation Summit held at MWC Shanghai 2021, who discussed how to build the wireless foundation network of the future, which has to be powerful, simple and efficient to support a profitable business for mobile operators.

Kuala Lumpur, 15 March 2021 - International SOS recently coordinated a highly complex evacuation of four ICU patients, repatriating the individuals from La Réunion island to Paris. The operation was commissioned by the French Ministry of Health and carried out in collaboration with the Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU), the emergency medical services in France, the Regional Health Agency, Air Austral and Aéroports de Paris. This is the first time that so many ICU COVID-19 patients have been transported simultaneously on such a long-haul flight. 

Elaborating on the successful evacuation, David Ng, Managing Director, Malaysia & Myanmar, International SOS, shared, “This evacuation was another important milestone for International SOS, this valuable experience enables us to help organisations in Malaysia and Southeast Asia should a similar situation arise. That said, with close to 25 years of operation in Malaysia, we have also successfully conducted many evacuations for Malaysian corporates and international companies in the country. Most recently, we completed a repatriation mission for a company from South Sudan to Malaysia, and used the same flight to fly employees returning back to Sudan. We also safely evacuated a patient for a Chinese conglomerate from Malaysia to China during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
