Commercial 5G networks are expected to go live in 2019. First movers can reshape the market and increase market share and revenue streams. Combining improved capacity with increased cost-efficiency 5G represents an opportunity for telecom operators to improve their consumer business. 5G also allows operators to explore new use cases and business models and capture new revenue streams through addressing industry digitalization. Our portfolio is ready to support operators that want to be first to deploy 5G.

Our two latest launches

New deployment solutions for 5G

Our latest NR solutions will future-proof network architecture and secure 5G performance and coverage fast.

5G RAN Virtualization

With the expected data rate upsurge, service providers need to increase capacity and revenue, while lowering costs. By virtualizing the upper layer of 5G radio-access network (RAN) software, we offer a virtual RAN (vRAN) solution to give you additional network architecture flexibility to address these challenges.

5G deployment considerations

Ericsson’s network technology enables evolution from 4G to full 5G deployment through natural, step-wise implementation that balances investments, revenue streams and competitiveness while minimizing risk. Our paper outlines how. Read the new edition with expanded sections on core network evolution and spectrum strategies.

Strategies to maximize all spectrum bands

Strategies for utilizing spectrum assets, and re-use of existing networks assets, are fundamental to achieve a smooth and cost effective introduction of 5G.

The 5G business case for enhanced mobile broadband

Enhanced mobile broadband will be the first commercial application of 5G and can help operators improve their consumer business. Our study reveals that the evolution to 5G can enable a 10 times lower cost per gigabyte than current 4G networks.

Massive MIMO

Massive MIMO is deployed to improve spectral efficiency in a bid to ramp up network capacity and data throughput for end users, by enlarging network capacity. Discover our award-winning Massive MIMO to find out what it can do for your network.
