Network Build is based on technical innovations, including a
cloud-based toolkit with automatization and streamlined processes,
allowing operators faster time to market and quicker return on
investment
· Provides
minimal impact to operators' customers while improving coverage,
capacity and delivering enhanced user experience
After successful pilots with operators in both
developed and emerging markets, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has
launched Accelerated Network Build, a new solution to accelerate
and streamline the network build process for operators to deliver a
faster time to market with quicker return on investment.
The new solution delivers the increased speed by
cutting build time 50 percent, improved quality by reducing number
of site visits by 70 percent and better predictability with 99
percent first-time right delivery. It provides minimal impact to
operators' customers during build out or introducing new
technologies, while improving coverage and capacity.
Fredrik Jejdling, Head of Business Unit Network
Services, Ericsson, says: "Results from the pilots show that
Accelerated Network Build makes a difference to our customers. By
combining technology innovation, cloud-based tools with streamlined
processes, our solution will revolutionize how networks are built
and set a new standard in the industry."
Michael Sullivan-Trainor, Executive Analyst at
Technology Business Research (TBR) Telecom Practice, says: "Fast
time to revenue and reduced cost is a must have right now - it's a
pain point for operators that needs to be solved with innovation.
New technologies are going to make things even more complex and
it's very timely that Ericsson is addressing how to fix the
infrastructure deployment model now, both for today and for
tomorrow when 5G and the Internet of Things will come."
According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, 5G
subscription uptake is projected to be faster than previous
generations with over half a billion 5G subscriptions by the end of
2022. Internet of Things (IoT) devices are also set to skyrocket,
passing mobile phones as the largest category of connected devices
as early as 2018.
This provides operators with the need to build the
networks of the future quicker than ever before, with minimal
impact to the business operations during build. Current solutions
and traditional methods of network build have multiple handovers
between activities and parties resulting in lengthy
deployments.
Based on a proprietary cloud-based toolkit that
delivers streamlined process improvements and a host of technical
innovations, Ericsson Accelerated Network Build delivers a solution
that meets the ever-growing demands of both operators and their
customers.
Part of the solution is Ericsson's Network
Deployment Delivery Platform, an industry-first cloud-based
delivery platform for build services that was released in September
2016. Building on the delivery platform is a more streamlined
two-phased deployment approach, including an offsite preparation
phase and a single execution phase where activities are conducted
concurrently on site.
Optimized supply flow reduces the time needed on
site and remote tools and activities can take real-time control of
the rollout. This facilitates a faster build and removes the need
for additional site visits to meet quality compliance.
