Total number of container network base stations

The number of container ports in the network has increased by 13 per cent, from 834 to 939. The average node betweenness increased by 27 per cent during the same period, reflecting the growth of the overall network, and the reduction of direct port-to-port services.

China has deployed over 2.4 million 5G base stations as of 2023, accounting for over 60% of the global total China is leading the 5G revolution. With over 2.4 million base stations, the country accounts for more than 60% of all 5G infrastructure globally.

Optionally, information on container moves at Mexican and Canadian ports that handle significant numbers of containers destined for or originating from the United States. Carriers are expected to provide information for all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including U.S. flag operators.

Unlike traditional large cell towers, small cells are compact, low-powered base stations designed for dense urban environments. They help fill coverage gaps, improve network reliability, and handle high data traffic. In cities, more than 60% of 5G base stations are small cells, placed on rooftops, lampposts, and building facades.
