5G deployments are accelerating around the world, with early adopters preparing for the transition to 5G Standalone to drive new consumer and commercial use cases. Bringing 5G to market need more spectrum and hardware, which is where Ericsson’s new solutions come in, with the potential to increase capacity while reducing power consumption, therefore fuelling attempts to break the energy curve.

After over a decade of 4G connectivity, leaders in global telecoms are now racing to roll out the fifth generation of broadband cellular technology and meet today’s twin challenges of increased network activity and bandwidth demands. The pressure to upgrade has only become greater due to the pandemic, which shifted the global workforce from the office to the home.

Fredrik Jejdling says: “Mobile communication has had an incredible impact on society and business over the last ten years. When we look ahead to 2027, mobile networks will be more integral than ever to how we interact, live and work. Our latest Ericsson Mobility Report shows that the pace of change is accelerating, with technology playing a crucial role.”

Operator Revenue Strategies: Challenges, Opportunities, and Market Forecasts 2021-2026, a new report, advises operators to take advantage of their 5G networks and high levels of virtualization to develop new IP-based services that produce new revenue streams. Emerging 5G-based consumer devices, like as laptops and mobile routers, were identified as an important emphasis area for operators in the next years.

Saleem Al Blooshi, Chief Technology Officer, EITC, said, “5G SA network is a key enabler to support enterprise use cases such as energy, utilities, manufacturing, and agriculture. In collaboration with AWS, du can extend the compute capabilities along with IoT/AI/ML use cases to our enterprise customers premises through our fastest and most capable 5G network in the UAE.”
