5G Engineering Services – Provider Compendium 2025

5G is rapidly evolving as a foundational technology in the telecommunications and enterprise sectors, enabling ultra-low latency, high throughput, and massive device connectivity. It powers applications such as private networks, industrial automation, real-time analytics, autonomous operations, and immersive experiences. Providers are helping clients unlock these benefits by offering end-to-end 5G engineering services spanning device, network, and solution layers.

However, enterprises face significant challenges – such as architectural complexities, talent shortages, evolving standards, integration with cloud and edge infrastructure, and ensuring interoperability in multi-provider environments – in realizing 5G’s full potential. Providers are addressing these issues through investments in labs, AI-led automation, IPs, and partnerships with OEMs, hyperscalers, and telecom providers.

This compendium evaluates 14 leading providers delivering 5G engineering services. Each provider profile presents a detailed overview of vision, capabilities, solutions, case studies, and investments across 5G service areas. This research is designed to assist enterprises in identifying the right partners for use-case-driven 5G deployment – across product, network, and solution engineering.
