In 2017, the industry experienced the first wave of 2Gsunsets, in addition to the ongoing CDMA sunsets. This firstwave was mainly driven by a few countries in Asia Pacificlooking to close their 2G networks to bolster 3G/4G The advent of 5G brought about the second wave ofnetwork sunsets to meet growing spectrum demand anduse spectrum resources efficiently. This was further spurredby declining traffic on legacy networks and the high cost of Of the 117 network sunsets between 2010 and 2023, morethan 50% were completed in the last three years. Some 111sunsets are planned in 2024 and 2025. Network sunsets by region and status To date, Asia Pacific has been at the forefront of networkshutdowns, followed by Europe and Latin America.

In the earlystages of the 4G era, the region had a substantial customer base on 2G networks. Shutting them down supported the region withthe adoption of4G. 2022 was an inflection point–5G acted as a catalyst for network sunsets, spurring other regions to shut down legacy networks too, withEurope at the forefront. 3G sunsets began to increase, outnumbering 2G sunsets in 2023. 3G sunsets will grow at a faster ratethan 2G sunsetsout to 2030.
