Ericsson Showcases Advanced 5G Connectivity Solutions

Ericsson India highlighted the transformative potential of differentiated connectivity solution through its advanced 5G solutions. This event marks a significant leap in the company’s commitment to enhancing 5G network capabilities and introducing premium services for both consumers and enterprises, the company said. 

 

The roadshow showcased a variety of advanced 5G applications, such as live broadcasting and remote-controlled machines, made possible by Ericsson’s newly launched software toolkit. This toolkit is designed to bolster 5G Standalone networks, facilitating high-performance use cases with stringent requirements on throughput, reliability, and latency. Key features include Massive MIMO, Advanced RAN Slicing, Time-Critical Communication, and 5G Core enhancements.

 

Nitin Bansal, Managing Director of Ericsson India, emphasized the new opportunities 5G presents for operators, both in traditional mobile broadband and emerging value pools. “Our innovative software toolkit empowers customers to unlock advanced 5G applications through differentiated connectivity, driving us towards our vision of networks as a platform,” Bansal stated.

 

The event highlighted several groundbreaking demonstrations, such as the Enhanced Sports Experiences demo, which uses network slicing and APIs to deliver immersive fan engagements and new revenue streams for sports clubs. Another notable demo, Superior Uplink for Live Streams, showcased seamless real-time streaming with smart glasses, leveraging Uplink Carrier Aggregation to boost 5G upload speeds.

 

Ericsson’s commitment to innovation extends beyond 5G, said Bansal. The company has ramped up its research and development efforts in India, forming collaborations with premier engineering institutes like IIT Kharagpur, ISI, and IIT Madras. These partnerships focus on AI, Compute, and Radio research, aiming to develop sustainable and verifiable Cyber-Physical Systems and future AI-native 6G networks.

 

The roadshow’s diverse showcases reflect a layered approach to business development, where mobile broadband, FWA, private networks, and programmable networks are pursued in parallel. This strategy positions operators to maximize their potential in the evolving 5G landscape.
