Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) is bringing
the best of technology innovations to the Indian market to enable a smooth
evolution from 4G to 5G. The company has introduced a new category of radio
products called Street Macro; a new site type that addresses the need of
operators to grow in cities with limited available radio locations. The company
has also launched new radio products that support Massive MIMO technology.
These products enable a smooth evolution from 4G to 5G and address the need for
increased capacity, while simplifying use for wider adoption.
All
installed base of radios from the Ericsson Radio System delivered since 2015
will be 5G NR-capable by a remote software installation. Ericsson recently completed
its 5G platform with the launch of 5G Radio Access Network (RAN)
commercial software, based on the recently approved first 3GPP 5G New Radio
(NR) standard. The 5G radio network software complements Ericsson’s already
launched baseband and 5G radios. Operators can simply activate their 5G
networks and take the first steps with commercial 5G capabilities and new
applications leveraging advanced mobile broadband services.
This
will cater efficiently for growing data traffic and enable access to multimedia
content, such as 4K/8K video streaming and virtual reality/augmented reality.
According to Ericsson’s new
economic study of enhanced mobile broadband, evolution to 5G will enable 10
times lower cost per gigabyte than current 4G networks. To help operators
capture growth opportunities presented by new 5G use cases, Ericsson has
expanded its 5G Core System offering with new capabilities to support 5G NR and
also enhanced its Distributed Cloud solution.
Nitin Bansal, Managing Director, Ericsson India said, “Operators today are looking at ways and means to
increase network capacity especially in urban areas. It is here that Ericsson’s
Street Macro adds a new layer in the network layer to boost capacity enabling
service providers to cater to the growing demands of data users. Our studies in
fact indicate that Enhanced mobile
broadband (eMBB) will be the first large-scale global 5G use case, driven by a
need for more efficient networks and better user experience.”
The
announcement came on the sidelines of Ericsson’s annual technology roadshow in India ,
where the company recreated a “Do Zone” to showcase the highlights from Mobile
World Congress 2018. Over 20 state of the art proof points were displayed at
the ‘Do Zone’ to give a glimpse of the future that will be enabled by 5G.
Key Highlights from Ericsson “Do Zone”
Build your 5G Future on Today’s 4G – Efficiencies and business innovation can be created today
on 4G. By running scenarios on a city model, we showcase Centralized and
Decentralized Radio Architecture, Core and RAN Virtualization, Network Slicing,
5G deployment scenarios, Transport Evolution, among other technological
deployments on the road to 5G.
VR Experience Optimization – As networks evolve to 5G, issues in the E2E scenario
will need to be addressed to ensure best end-user experience. The demo deals
with scenarios where ‘App Experience Optimization’ detects issues like latency
spikes and low throughput, suggests and implements actions to improve end-user
experience.
NFV here and now –
NFV is a prerequisite for 5G. It is crucial to enable efficiencies and agility
to support new business. The demo showcases Ericsson’s complete distributed
NFV-based core network, ready for delivery for 4G and 5G platform. It enables
shorter TTM for new services and higher efficiency with short upgrade cycles.
Cellular for Massive IoT –
NB-IoT and Cat-M1 leverage existing network infrastructure, open up great
business and revenue growth potential for mobile operators with new services
and applications. This proof point addresses the potential use cases with the
new technologies and Ericsson e2e Massive IoT solutions.
Mixed Reality Mining – This demo
displays the future concepts on AR and VR which can be adapted for a mining use
case. It offers users a chance to experience what could be done with great
connectivity, i.e. 5G, precise positioning, and augmented, mixed and virtual
reality (AR/MR/VR) in a mining context.
Insight Driven Automated
Operations – Data-driven network analysis in real time enables more
precise service operations and Customer Experience Management, thereby creating
more value. Ericsson Expert Analytics makes analytics-driven CEM a reality by
creating insights based on unique real-time network correlations across
different domains.
