Faster, safer, and more stable – To offer customers an even
better customer experience, Deutsche Telekom is modernizing its
mobile network with 5G-ready multi-standard solutions in
Germany. For this important step
towards 5G, Deutsche Telekom has selected Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC)
as supplier for its current and future network in one out of two
market areas of Deutsche Telekom in Germany. The modernized network will bring
improved network performance experience to subscribers.
Ericsson will modernize Deutsche Telekom's 2G, 3G and 4G network
with a multi-standard solution. This deal is a five-year agreement
that will include delivering a multi-standard Radio Access Network,
based on Ericsson's Baseband 6630 product and multi-standard
radios, Ericsson Network Manager for OSS, as well as hardware and
software support and services.
In this context, the OSS for the radio network enables unified
network management.
Arun Bansal, Senior Vice
President and Head of Market Area Europe and Latin America, says: "We listened to Deutsche
Telekom and understood their urgency to have 5G-ready
infrastructure in order to stay at the forefront of customer
service in Germany. We can run
multiple standards on the same baseband hardware and a 5G upgrade
will be able to be performed by a simple software download to the
radio sites. And, during these deliveries, we will use the
experience from our 5G activities around the world to be sure that
Deutsche Telekom has the most advanced hardware and software in the
industry."
Deploying the 5G-ready radio access network infrastructure marks
a new chapter of collaboration between Ericsson and Deutsche
Telekom. Ericsson has been a trusted partner for Deutsche Telekom´s
2G network and IP telephony network (Mobile and Fixed).
"Now, we are expanding our partnership and building a foundation
for a joint journey towards 5G," says Arun
Bansal.
