Ericsson targets high-performing programmable networks with new 5G Advanced software
High-performing programmable networks empower communications service providers (CSPs) to steer network behavior, aligning it with diverse business goals for optimal outcomes
Seven new 5G Advanced software products for high-performing programmable networks will substantially increase revenue, elevate user experience, and improve operational efficiency
5G Advanced strengthens radio access network (RAN) software portfolio with transformative technologies such as AI-powered RAN, intent-driven networks and Service-aware RAN
After building out 5G networks, communications service providers (CSPs) are ready to further harness the benefits of this technology. Today, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) unveils seven 5G Advanced software products designed to empower CSPs with high-performing programmable networks. These innovations will elevate performance, enhance user experience, and drive revenue growth and operational efficiency, opening up new possibilities for the industry.
Ericsson 5G Advanced brings new radio access network (RAN) software capabilities that significantly boost performance and develop programmable networks that add value to connectivity. These capabilities are based on open network architectures, AI and automation, and intent-driven networks. They make it easier for CSPs to steer the network to meet business and sustainability goals by measuring and matching different performance levels to service-level agreements (SLAs).
Ericsson’s suite of 5G Advanced software includes transformative technologies such as:
- AI-powered RAN – uses artificial intelligence and automation for real-time data processing and intelligent decision-making.
- Intent-driven networks – allow CSPs to simply state their objectives while the RAN handles complex processes and actions.
- Service-aware RAN – adapts to various connectivity needs, ensuring real-time adjustments and observability to meet service requirements and proof of delivery.
Mårten Lerner, Head of Product Area Networks at Ericsson, says: “Our customers have invested significantly in building 5G networks across the globe, and now around 50 percent of the world’s mobile 5G traffic outside China is carried over Ericsson-powered networks. With our 5G Advanced software, we are empowering service providers to move more rapidly towards high-performing programmable networks and achieve their business objectives. By leveraging these new software products, we are not only raising the bar on connectivity but also paving the way for innovative applications and services that will transform industries and improve lives around the world.”
