5G technology is maturing and evolving, expanding its ability to address new applications and use cases—and bringing the industry closer to actualizing the full business potential of their 5G opportunities. Ericsson 5G Advanced represents an iteration of 5G connectivity that promises not just faster speeds but a network designed to meet the stringent demands of industries and consumers for greater network performance, automation, sustainability and intelligence. In this edition of Imagine Studio Unboxed, we’ll explore how Ericsson 5G Advanced redefines connectivity and its role in enabling next-generation IoT applications, especially Critical IoT.
Setting the stage for high-performing programmable networks
5G Advanced is the new set of network capabilities that will help communications service providers (CSPs) achieve their goal of high-performing programmable networks, with more openness. This will ensure consistent and superior user experience at any time and place, and influence network behavior to achieve a desired outcome.
Critical IoT: Where every millisecond matters
The Internet of Things (IoT) is already a transformative force across industries, but Critical IoT—where ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) is paramount—takes this to a new level. Think of scenarios where split-second decisions can mean the difference between success and failure—remote surgeries, autonomous vehicle navigation or real-time industrial automation. Critical IoT applications can now enjoy reliability and responsiveness that were previously unattainable.
Ericsson 5G Advanced delivers remarkable improvements:
- Reduces latency to under 1 millisecond and achieves reliability rates exceeding 99.999 percent.
- Supports deterministic latency, ensuring predictable performance for time-sensitive applications.
- Enables distributed automation, bringing processing closer to devices for real-time operations.
- Enhances network slicing capabiltiies, allowing the creation of virtual networks tailored to specific IoT needs.
- Achieves sub-meter indoor positioning for location-sensitive applications.
With high security, low latency, and consistency, 5G Advanced can support both massive IoT deployments and the stringent demands of Critical IoT without compromising performance.
Harvest the full potential of your 5G investment
By combining AI-powered RAN, Intent-driven RAN, and Service-aware RAN, Ericsson 5G Advanced gives you the freedom to color your network however you choose. CSPs can measure and match different performance levels to service-level agreements (SLAs) and easily steer the network to meet business and sustainability goals.
The applications of Ericsson 5G Advanced paired with Critical IoT span a broad range of industries and impact multiple facets of our lives, including—but not limited to:
Industrial automation: Imagine factory robots operating in perfect harmony, enabled by real-time control and sub-millisecond communication.
Healthcare: Remote surgeries and continuous patient monitoring become not just possible but reliable and safe.
Transportation: Autonomous vehicles and smart logistics systems thrive with ultra-low latency and precise positioning.
Emergency services: Reliable connectivity ensures effective communication during disasters, saving lives and coordinating responses.
Immersive entertainment: Real-time gaming and Extended reality (XR) experiences are revolutionized with seamless, ultra-low latency connections.
And these are just the obvious, low-hanging fruit.
Already today and a vision for the future
Ericsson 5G Advanced is more than an upgrade; it’s the toolkit that empowers networks to be smarter, more secure, more adaptable and better aligned with the demands of a connected world. 5G Advanced unleashes powerful network features and capabilities that make it possible to automate, innovate and monetize with 5G in entirely new ways.
By merging the power of Ericsson 5G Advanced with Critical IoT, we’re redefining what’s possible. Stay tuned for more insights from Imagine Studio Unboxed as we continue to explore how Ericsson is shaping the connected world.
