What’s the news: Ericsson has chosen
T-Mobile as the connectivity provider for 5G laptops in its
Enterprise Virtual Cellular Network (EVCN) pilot in the U.S.
Why it matters: By 2025, an estimated
32.6 million Americans will be working remotely, which equates to
about 22% of the workforce. In this world, 5G laptops can eliminate
the challenges and security concerns around time consuming VPN
configurations and public Wi-Fi, providing a streamlined solution
for enterprise IT teams and employees.
Who it’s for: Enterprises looking to
reduce cybersecurity risks, simplify network IT and give employees
an easy way to connect to corporate tools and applications.
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that Ericsson has
selected T-Mobile as the 5G provider for the first phase of its
internal EVCN pilot in the U.S. Under the agreement, T-Mobile will
deliver connectivity along with Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
capabilities for employees’ 5G laptops. EVCN is a managed IT
service that enables enterprises to have their own 5G virtual
network. It makes it easier for enterprise IT teams to bring
employees a dependable and secure corporate network connection when
working remotely.
Let’s face it, organizations with a large percentage of hybrid
employees are struggling to ensure ‘work from anywhere’ can happen
reliably and securely. Public and even home Wi-Fi networks aren’t
always dependable when and where work happens and — most concerning
— they can present cyberattack vulnerabilities every time someone
clicks ‘join.’
EVCN with T-Mobile is set to help change all of that by
automating eSIM profile management, giving enterprises control of
the ordering, downloading and activation of eSIM profiles on 5G
laptops. This offers enterprises the ability to maintain their own
virtual cellular network and connect employee laptops quickly and
securely to T-Mobile’s 5G network.
T-Mobile SASE + Enterprise 5G = power couple
One of the key advantages that T-Mobile brings to Ericsson’s
EVCN solution in the U.S. is its groundbreaking SASE solution with
T-SIMsecure, delivered through T-Mobile’s Security Slice. This Zero
Trust Network Access platform marks the nation’s first SIM-based
SASE solution, utilizing International Mobile Subscriber Identity
and International Mobile Equipment Identity for clientless
authentication. This means that 5G laptops connected to T-Mobile’s
network are automatically authorized through the eSIM, further
simplifying the work for IT and security teams while delivering
improved experiences for employees who are on-the-go.
Employees will be automatically connected to the nation’s most
awarded 5G network by a simple eSIM profile activation. So,
enterprises can be confident that employees are securely connected,
whether they’re working from home, a remote workspace or travelling
to the U.S. from overseas.
“We are excited to be working with T-Mobile to deliver 5G
laptops to our employees in the U.S. EVCN provides eSIM management
at scale and enables employees to securely connect their 5G laptops
to the Ericsson corporate network from virtually anywhere in the
U.S.,” said Mats Hultin, CIO and Head of Ericsson Enterprise IT.
“This allows us to deliver the best possible employee experience
and increases productivity of our hybrid workforce. Together we are
reimagining a new reality for hybrid working, with 5G unlocking new
possibilities for Enterprises to shape a sustainable future through
digitalization and infra light IT architectures.”
"Enterprise IT and security teams are overwhelmed with a growing
number of cyberthreats from various vectors. The mobile workforce
should not be an additional concern," said Mishka Dehghan, SVP,
Strategy, Product, and Solutions Engineering, T-Mobile Business
Group. "We’re thrilled to support Ericsson’s EVCN pilot as it’s
more critical than ever for businesses and organizations to embrace
the latest 5G and SASE innovations to help improve the protection
of their networks, applications and information as well as the
productivity of their people."
