Why uplink performance matters?
In a world that’s more connected than ever, uplink isn’t just about speed—it’s about unlocking new ways to create, share, and collaborate.
Here’s why:
- More capacity, no extra sites: Ericsson 5G Advanced optimizes network resources, ensuring smooth performance even in high-traffic areas—without requiring additional infrastructure.
- Next-level user experience: Flagship smartphones, AR glasses, and wearables are only as powerful as the network that supports them. Reliable uplink keeps users engaged and happy.
- Power-efficient connectivity: Devices run longer with advanced battery-saving features, keeping users connected without the constant search for a charger.
- Future-proof networks: The next wave of digital experiences like AI-powered glasses, ultra-HD livestreaming, real-time drone operations demand networks that can adapt and deliver.
The technology powering the uplink revolution
- Uplink-aware Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination
Think of this as an intelligent traffic steering mechanism that dynamically balances user loads across different 5G spectrum layers. As a natural evolution of Ericsson’s Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination, this enhanced framework integrates both uplink and downlink cell load through advanced automation algorithms. The result is optimized cell selection tailored to user throughput requirements, energy efficiency, service configuration, and real-time network conditions ensuring consistent performance even in high-congestion scenarios. - Uplink performance enablers: SU-MIMO & carrier aggregation
To meet the demanding uplink throughput requirements of use cases like static live broadcasting, features such as Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) and Uplink Carrier Aggregation are key. These capabilities drive higher peak data rates and increase overall network capacity. - Network slicing & resource partitioning
Technologies such as Rate Control Scheduling and Radio Resource Partitioning enable dynamic allocation of network resources to meet KPIs during congestion. This ensures critical applications maintain performance under varying network loads. - Smart energy management
Features like fast idle mode release and stepwise carrier deactivation help reduce energy consumption, extending device battery life while preserving connectivity quality.
Reimagining the uplink experiences from smart glasses to professional cameras
Imagine a world where capturing and sharing experiences happens instantly, effortlessly. That future isn’t far away—it’s already unfolding.
- Smart glasses as instant cameras
Instead of pulling out your phone, unlocking it, and fumbling with the camera app, smart glasses let you start filming with a simple voice command or gesture. With Ericsson 5G Advanced, these glasses can stream live, high-definition video directly to social media or professional broadcasting platforms. - Drones that do more than just film
Until now, drone footage required capturing video, landing the drone, transferring files, and editing before sharing. With 5G-connected drones, that entire process is happening in real time allowing journalists, event organizers, and content creators to broadcast as it happens, no delay. - Professional-grade wireless cameras
With 5G-enabled video monitors, traditional broadcasting setups are being transformed. Instead of relying on wired connections, cameras can now transmit high-quality, live footage via a dedicated 5G slice, ensuring seamless streaming without lag.
The big question: where do communication service providers (CSPs) stand?
For network operators and service providers, Ericsson 5G Advanced isn’t just a technological upgrade it’s a strategic decision and they have a choice:
- Maintain the status quo and focus on traditional mobile broadband.
- Wait and observe while early adopters test new business models.
- Take the lead in shaping the future of live video, AR/VR applications, and next-gen content creation.
For those willing to innovate, the opportunities are immense. The ability to dynamically allocate network resources ensuring optimal performance for cameras, drones, and smart glasses in real-time opens entirely new revenue streams and use cases.
The road ahead
Uplink performance is no longer just about uploading files—it’s about enabling the next generation of digital experiences. Ericsson 5G Advanced is here, and the question is: who will take the lead in bringing these possibilities to life?
