Ericsson's Imagine Live Innovation Days in Aachen: Focus on 5G for end customers
- Imagine Live Innovation Days focus on the advancement and performance enhancement of 5G networks and provide an outlook on the path towards 6G
- Three topic areas - "Make it Memorable", "Network Innovation" and "Network Evolution" -demonstrate the performance of the latest mobile technology through live demos and presentations
On November 5th and 6th, 2024, Ericsson opens its doors for the thirteenth Imagine Live Innovation Days in Aachen. Once a year, invited customers and media representatives can exchange ideas with each other and Ericsson experts at the Ericsson Eurolab in-house exhibition and discuss the latest trends, technologies and research approaches in the mobile communications market.
"The Imagine Live Innovation Days once again bring together our numerous customers and partners with our experts and researchers," says Daniel Leimbach, Head of Customer Unit Western Europe and Chairman of the Management Board of Ericsson GmbH. "On-site at the Eurolab in Aachen, we offer exciting insights and discussions about the latest developments of current and upcoming mobile generations and how customers can use them to enhance their network performance. Live demos and product presentations around 5G, Open RAN, and more also show how our customers have solved certain challenges to make their networks even more powerful and sustainable. Alongside innovative technology, we will also highlighting the end customer’s perspective, discussing, for instance, how the major events of the summer of 2024 raised the bar for mobile networks."
Visitors can learn about Ericsson's solution portfolio through demos and presentations across three topic areas:
- "Make it Memorable" showcases how 5G networks elevate fan experiences at major sports and entertainment events. This includes, for example, 5G Standalone for higher uplink speeds using Carrier Link Aggregation, Massive MIMO, solutions for better network coverage at event locations and the optimal use of TDD and FDD duplex methods. Fans benefit from a better live experience on site thanks to uninterrupted live streaming, gaming offers or additional media offers. This also opens up new monetization opportunities for organizers and network operators by enabling extra services.
- In the "Network Innovation" area, topics such as technology openness, Ericsson's energy-efficient cloud solutions, as well as intelligent and automated RAN networks are the focus. Visitors can learn more about GitOps-based lifecycle management for telecommunications nodes or new security solutions such as Silent Network Authentication. Ericsson will also present new 5G hardware, including the energy-saving Ericsson AIR 3255 Massive MIMO Radio, the Triple-Band Antenna Massive MIMO FDD AIR 3284, the Ericsson Radio 4823 and the OpenRAN-compatible Ericsson RAN Compute Portfolio.
- "Network Evolution" highlights solutions for powerful, energy-saving and mission-critical networks. This includes, for example, packet core solutions on compact Ericsson cloud infrastructure, high-performance and sustainable antennas, MIMO and multiband radio units, and secure 5G networks for defense and military applications, including hardened devices for difficult deployment environments. Ericsson will also present its vision for future 6G network architectures and technologies, suchas the technical possibilities of the centimeter wave spectrum for 6G networks, the migration from 5G to 6G and insights into European and national 6G research projects.
