Ericsson Introduces New Platform to Accelerate 5G 

New Delhi: Swedish communication technology firm Ericsson on Thursday introduced "5G platform" to accelerate the path to next generation wireless services.

Ericsson's new 5G platform comprises the 5G core, radio and transport portfolios, together with digital support systems, transformation services and security.

Ericsson expects that in 2026, there will be a $582 billion market opportunity globally as telecom operators leverage 5G technology for industry digitalisation. For operators, this represents potential to add 34 per cent growth in revenues in 2026.

"Ericsson 5G Core System capable of 5G use cases is based on network slices. Network slicing allows an operator to provide dedicated virtual networks with functionality specific to the service or customer over a common network," the company said.
