The next wave of 5G innovation with Time-Critical Communication
Imagine providing instant and reliable connections between people and things that matter, when and where it matters the most. Ericsson Time-Critical Communication makes that possible.
What is Time-Critical Communication?
Time-Critical Communication is a new software toolbox utilizing a step-wise approach to remove delay, interrupts, and lags. Check it out!
Ericsson Time-Critical Communication (TCC) is designed to resolve lags and interruptions in 5G networks. It combines the 3GPP-specified ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) standard with Ericsson innovations to resolve major causes of latency and to improve reliability.
This innovate new software toolbox is available through our groundbreaking Ericsson Critical IoT product. It is easily deployable as a software upgrade on public and private networks, on any 5G frequency band.
Ericsson has piloted a wide range of time-critical use cases since 2017 with over 100 industry engagements to become a trusted partner for business innovation and ecosystem support.
Ericsson Time-Critical Communication represents the biggest differentiator between 5G and non-cellular technologies as well as previous generations of cellular systems.
