Ericsson bags 5G RAN deal from Thai telco True Corporation

NEW DELHI: Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson said it has bagged a 5G RAN deal from Thai telecom service provider True Corporation to expand the service provider’s national 5G network. The 5G rollout got underway in March 2020 immediately following the selection of Ericsson as a 5G vendor.

Ericsson said its Radio System products and services will enable True to operate 5G on 700MHz (low-band), 2.6GHz (mid-band) and 26GHz (high-band) frequencies in the North, Central-West, and Upper South regions of Thailand.

The deployment includes active antenna products that reduce wireless signal interference and improve 5G speed.
