PLANO, Texas, Aug. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) is expanding its portfolio of 5G radios with three
new offerings geared toward urban environments. Part of Ericsson
Street Solutions, these radios will allow communications service
providers (CSPs) to build robust 5G service across all bands in
urban environments while blending in seamlessly with the
cityscapes.
"Urban deployments are critical for reaching the full potential
of 5G," said Kevin Zvokel, Head of
Networks for Ericsson North America.
"We know CSPs are looking for ways to deploy quickly and with
simplicity, maximizing the 5G user experience while leveraging
minimally intrusive equipment. Ericsson's solutions do just
this and can bring a complete 5G network to life across all
bands."
Meet the challenge of urban deployments
5G deployments
are accelerating across the country at a faster rate than expected.
According to Ericsson's annual mobility report, by the end of 2021,
25 percent of the global population will have 5G coverage. In
North America, more than 360
million 5G subscriptions are anticipated in the region by 2026,
accounting for 84 percent of mobile subscriptions.
However, connectivity can suffer in dense urban environments,
and as 5G comes to U.S. cities, urban rollouts are grappling with
challenges like how to deploy non-intrusive sites, how best to
utilize all frequency layers, and how to streamline site permitting
and installation. Many sites need to expand 5G capacity, and
hotspots and streets need strengthened capacity in both low, mid
and high-band to build a complete 5G network as traffic grows.
Powered by Ericsson Silicon, these new solutions are:
- Street Radio 4402: Designed to turn a streetlight
into a low- or mid-band 5G site in 15 minutes, these compact radios
are an industry-unique collaboration with Ubicquia, boosting 4G and
5G experience with zero footprint;
- AIR 4435: The world's smallest 4T4R street
antenna-integrated radio is designed for minimum footprint and easy
installations, adding excellent mid-band capacity to macro coverage
gaps;
- Street Macro 6705: A complete mmWave base station
with integrated RAN Compute is an industry-leading end-to-end
solution with low visual impact.
Ericsson Street Solutions also include transport solutions for
any 5G street site, with wired and wireless backhaul and fronthaul
solutions. And zero footprint power systems for street and hotspot
sites are 100 percent carry to site, with low maintenance and
operations costs.
