The power of 5G Carrier Aggregation

Carrier Aggregation is the foundation for deploying high-performing 4G and 5G networks. It provides the unique capability of aggregating several frequency bands for higher peak rates and increased cell coverage. Ericsson offers an industry-leading portfolio of Carrier Aggregation features for both 4G and 5G. In this blog post, we take you on a deep dive into the technical side of Carrier Aggregation and showcase why it is a game-changer for delivering increased network capacity and maximized spectral efficiency for 5G networks everywhere.

Why network intelligence is vital in addressing RAN threats

The Radio Access Network (RAN) is a large attack surface for advanced threat actors . False base stations are one very specific attack method that can lead to service outages, loss of privacy, financial loss and possibly brand damage. The prevalence of false base stations is unknown as the current methods used to detect them are largely impractical and imprecise. Learn how Ericsson leverages network-based intelligence with high-precision detection methods to finally counter the dangerous threat.

Who cares about latency in 5G?

Think about the apps that you use on your smartphone all the time. Do you have any idea about what latency is required for you to have a good experience when using them? Is it 100, 50, or 10 milliseconds, or even less? Should you care about latency at all when you use your smartphone? I don’t think so. Still, latency and its impact on 5G user experience often come up when I meet people in the industry, and for sure different opinions exist. With this blog post, I intend to provide a few facts…
