A ranking of 5G markets compiled between July 2022 and July 2023 found that South Korea had 419 5G base stations per 100,000 inhabitants. This was more than twice the number installed in China, and almost 14 times the number reported for the United States. South Korea became the first country to launch commercial 5G services in April 2019.
