Delivering premium experiences with differentiated connectivity

Empowering the transition to performance-based model for business growth

Step into the future of mobile communication with differentiated connectivity, where every interaction is geared towards personalized needs and requirements. Our cutting-edge approach goes beyond the current one-size-fits-all solutions, offering personalized, reliable, high-performance connectivity that adapts to the service differentiation requirements of modern applications.

Experience the unparalleled efficiency and sustainability of networks designed for the era of 5G and beyond. Differentiated connectivity isn't a concept; it's a strategic advantage that propels mobile networks forward, ensuring every connection is not only made but made to matter.

For 5G SA communication Service providers, differentiated connectivity paves the way for unique, high-quality user experiences, unlocking service differentiation at scale to support the industry shift into a performance-based business model for connectivity. It's especially transformative in sports and entertainment, where Ericsson's solutions mitigate network issues that triple the chance of user churn at events, enhancing satisfaction and driving new revenue.

The evolution of connectivity in sports and entertainment

A network for the fans, by the fans

A clear example of the power of differentiated connectivity to transform industries and businesses can be seen in Sports and Entertainment. None more so than Ericsson’s collaboration with Ooredoo Qatar to ensure their customers were universally connected during the sporting mega event in 2022. While more recently, working with mobile operators in Germany to make sure the 5G network delivered a great user and fan experience in the cities, fan zones and stadiums during another sporting mega event in June of this year.

“Our innovation focus at Deutsche Telekom is on developing new differentiated services. Working with Ericsson and partners we have demonstrated the quality of experience benefits of a consistent low latency and actively pushed the ecosystem in this area. We now welcome the launch of 5G slicing and L4S in Ericsson’s RAN software offering as we prepare the next steps to bring the benefits to our customers.”

The essential building blocks to Implementing Differentiated Connectivity

Differentiated connectivity is made up of a set of capabilities and end-to-end resources on a 5G SA network, as well as the associated devices and applications. It covers a full spectrum, from application behavior in client and server as well as networking technologies such as advanced RAN features, like radio resource partitioning, new radio schedulers, software-defined networking (SDN), diverse 5G Core network capabilities, like URSP and APIs exposure, and end-to-end network network slicing support. Together they facilitate dynamic and flexible network configuration and management, all geared toward driving a differentiated user experience.

And for those CSPs who are looking to stand out in a competitive market, our suite of solutions, including OSS/BSS with Services Orchestration and Assurance, 5G Core, Intelligent Transport, Network Intelligence and Automation, and Radio Access Network (RAN), have been engineered to work together to provide the essential building blocks needed to achieve this goal.

By integrating these capabilities, CSPs can deliver fan experiences that are not just enjoyable but truly unforgettable.
