Ericsson’s 5G platform adds unique core and business communication capabilities

Article | June 15, 2023

To leverage the full benefits of 5G and cloud native investments, orchestration and automation are now a critical matter of business. Ericsson’s 5G platform is now being strengthened with new solutions that enable smarter business. David Bjore, Head of R&D and Portfolio, Business Area Digital Services, Ericsson, says: “Through our core networks, service providers can get to market faster and can capitalize on new services, through leading consumer and enterprise communication and monetization solutions, enabling them to stay ahead in the race for 5G business, today and tomorrow.”

Ericsson researchers top 4.3Gbps downlink on 5G millimeter wave

Article | May 18, 2023

With a technical specification comprising 8 component carriers (8CC) aggregating 800MHz of millimeter wave spectrum, Ericsson engineers achieved delivery rates of 4.3Gbps – the fastest 5G speed to date. Ericsson Radio System Street Macro 6701 delivered data with downlink speeds of 4.3Gbps over-the-air to an industry partner test device during interoperability testing. The commercial solution, including network and terminal support, will be available to 5G consumers during 2020.

Intelligence Brief: How is 5G changing network ownership?

Article | July 10, 2023

5G necessitates a different network strategy. Unlike previous generations, 5G deployment is not only about adding more sites and increasing backhaul capacity. In fact, it is more about rethinking the whole network architecture to make it agile. The high capacity requirements of 5G will necessitate the use of small cells in cities and areas of high footfall (such as airports) to complement national macro networks. Private networks (for example to sell into enterprise customers) and the concept of a neutral host (such as for sports stadiums) are further examples of diversification.

5G Needs Edge Computing to Deliver on Its Promises

Article | February 11, 2020

Edge computing will be a key enabler for 5G to deliver on its bandwidth and latency requirements. In the short term, it can enable developers to provide a “5G experience” at scale. In the long term, it will be necessary to optimise customer experience for real-time, data hungry applications. Telecoms operators have reported that 5G in the lab can deliver network speeds that are more than twenty times faster than LTE1. But, this does not reflect the experience of the average user. And 5G roll out in many countries will be limited in terms of coverage and capabilities for several more years, given that the ultra-low latency standards will only be revealed in 3GPP’s Release 16 later this year. This is why it is likely that, for 5G to deliver on its promises, it must be coupled with edge computing.

New research shows consumers continue to see significant risk in IoT device security

IoT Tech News | August 21, 2018

Consumers continue to be intrigued by IoT devices – yet almost two thirds polled by Dynatrace admit they have already encountered performance issues with serious injury a potential risk. The study, titled ‘IoT Consumer Confidence Report: Challenges for Enterprise Cloud Monitoring on the Horizon’ and which polled 10,000 consumers globally, poured scorn on the security of connected devices amid consumer concerns. The most obvious candidate for this concern is self-driving cars, with 85% of those polled expressing worry that these vehicles could malfunction. A further 72% expressed their belief that software glitches in self-driving cars would cause serious injuries and fatalities, while 84% said they won’t use them due to fear of malfunction. It’s not just the software inside the cars which cause concern; consumers are also worried about digital locks locking them out of cars, as well as problems interacting with smart traffic lights. Healthcare is another major area of worry. Almost two thirds (62%) of those polled said they would not trust an IoT device to administer medication, while a vast majority (85%) said they had concerns over the accuracy of devices to monitor heart rate and blood pressure – and whether it could compromise clinical data. “The delivery chain behind every connected device is extremely complex,” explained Dave Anderson, VP marketing at Dynatrace. “Businesses are already struggling with cloud complexity, but IoT magnifies this a thousand times with sensors, masses of new data and dynamic containerised workloads.
