Cooperation underlines Ericsson 5G engagement in
Europe
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has today announced new
collaborations with prestigious universities King's College London
and Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden). The collective
efforts will focus on 5G research, addressing both the technical
implications and the societal challenges of implementing the
next-generation of communications technology.
The collaborations with the two
universities will build on other leading European research
institute and university collaborations in the 5G sphere, such as
those with the Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University
of Technology and Lund University in Sweden.
Valter D'Avino, Ericsson Head of Region Western and Central Europe,
says: "The collaboration with King's College London and TU Dresden
will accelerate the momentum around smart sustainable cities, the
Internet of Things and evolved industries powered by 5G in UK and
Germany.
"They underscore Ericsson's ongoing
commitment to innovate in Europe and develop 5G with relevant
partners as the basis of a networked society and of digitized
economies in the next decades."
Ericsson is also leading the EU project METIS
(Mobile and wireless communications Enablers for Twenty-twenty
(2020) Information Society) and been a driving force of 5G PPP (5G
Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership), in which vendors,
operators and players from industries such as the automotive,
utilities and automation sectors are working closely together.
5G is expected to begin its commercial rollout in
2020, by which time Ericsson believes that there will be up to 50
billion connected devices in the world, mainly in
machine-to-machine communication.
5G networks will enable a wide variety of use
cases such as evolved mobile broadband services, a range of
machine-to-machine communication and media distribution. These
services will demand diverse requirements on the performance of the
networks.
