Ericsson bolsters its 5G portfolio to push deployment

NEW DELHI: Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson said that it launched new software and hardware solutions to expand 5G deployment options extending network capacity and coverage, enabling smooth network evolution, and facilitating new consumer and industry use cases.

While already supporting frontrunner service providers through the rollout of commercial 5G using non-standalone (NSA) 5G New Radio (NR), Ericsson has now introduced standalone NR software. In addition to extending deployment possibilities, 5G standalone NR software makes for a new network architecture, delivering key benefits such as ultra-low latency and even better coverage.
