(MENAFN- Arab Advisors Group) Arab Advisors Group released a new series of telecommunications reports entitled: A Comparative Analysis of 5G Rates in the GCC and Jordan. These reports provide a deep dive on the postpaid and prepaid 5G data-only plans offered by telecom operators with commercially available 5G services.

The fifth generation of technology (“5G”) is gaining prominence world-wide, especially since it is a pillar of Industry 4.0 and a necessary aspect of Internet of Things and smart cities. 5G is also gaining mass attention from consumers, whose appetite for faster, more seamless Internet experiences continues to grow.

Arab Advisors Group has been tracking 5G rates in the GCC since 2020. Through its 5G rates tracking reports, Arab Advisors Group sheds light on telecom operators’ postpaid and prepaid 5G data only plans, and benchmarks current offerings with past similar publications that allows stakeholders to further contextualize the data. Arab Advisors Group also conducted a comparative analysis for Jordan’s 5G rates for the first time in 2024, which affords stakeholders a deep dive into the landscape of the 5G data-only offerings in the country.

In the report, “A Comparative Analysis of 5G Rates in the GCC”, Arab Advisors Group conducted a comparative analysis on a regional level for all 5G data-only plans in the GCC. The second report, “A Comparative Analysis of 5G Rates in Jordan”, contains a comparative analysis of all 5G data-only plans on an operator level. These reports, which were released in May 2024 to Arab Advisors Group’s communication research subscribers, answer the below questions:

• Which cellular operators offer prepaid and postpaid 5G data only plans?
• What are the average fees of the 5G data only plans per data allowance offered?
• What is the fee per 1 GB for the 5G data only plans?
• Which operators had the highest average monthly fees for its 5G services? and which are perceived as overly priced?
• What are the details of each telco’s offerings of 5G data only plans?

Managing Director of Arab Advisors Group, Hiba Rabadi, commented on the series, “The significance of our 5G rates tracking reports lies in the critical need to monitor telecom operators’ evolving marketing and pricing strategies. On one hand, observing these changes allows new market entrants to exploit their competitors’ extensive experience in pricing and marketing, ensuring a well-informed and strategic market entry. On the other hand, our insights enable telecom operators with commercially available 5G services to assess and benchmark their pricing strategies against competitors, and determine if they adhere to economies of scale."
