The FPG Roaming Series: Working in...Philadelphia
08 Mar, 2023
Without question, the main area of focus for the telecommunications market in Mexico (and across LATAM) in 2022 will be 5G. According to a recent report by the GSMA, 5G technology will represent 14% of mobile connections in Mexico by 2025, and 12% of total connections across LATAM in the same period. AT&T Mexico are leading the way in 5G rollout.
Nicole Rodríguez, VP and CTO at AT&T Mexico commented: “In the next three years, we will deploy 5G in the main markets of the country, starting with the most important cities”.
To show how dedicated AT&T are in their commitment to deploy 5G, they are opening a 5G Innovation Laboratory, a space designed to test and validate 5G use cases with collaborators, industry, and customers. With other telecommunications companies also committing to the rollout of 5G, it will be interesting to see how this progresses over the next 12 months as well as other areas within telecommunications. Luz Nunez from our Mexico City office believes the following jobs in telecommunications will be in demand in 2022. Here they are along with their typical job descriptions:
