#3 Reliability In addition to switching between networks globally, eUICC technology also enables static devices or devices with a small travel radius to steer to the best network, instead of the “primary” network.

5G Is Damned Expensive and Not Here–Really

At the end of 2019 Ericsson estimated the number of 5G subscriptions to be only 12 million. Projections for the end of 2020 hover at a mere 84 million.
