Ericsson: supplies 5G gear to Vodafone
(CercleFinance.com) - Sweden's Ericsson has supplied to Vodafone the hardware, software, and services that have enabled the British operator to launch its fifth generation (5G) mobile service today in London.
The telecoms equipment maker said it has provided the carrier with site solutions, IP routers and other fronthaul products to enable 5G on the 3.5GHz frequency.
Combined with LTE, the solution is set to achieve speeds of up to 10 times faster than 4G for 5G users, with much lower latency, Ericsson said.
Its sharing functionality will also enable Vodafone to extend 5G coverage over a wide area, leveraging 4G spectrum on existing infrastructure.
