Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has been selected by SoftBank Corp.
("SoftBank") to deliver cloud native 5G Core for SoftBank's 5G
Standalone Network. The solution, which includes Ericsson Cloud
Packet Core, Ericsson Cloud Unified Data Management and Policy, as
well as Ericsson NFVI, will play a key role in SoftBank's
operational transformation. Zero-touch operation, including
continuous delivery and integration processes (CI/CD), is made
possible through container-based microservice architecture and its
automation capabilities.
Ericsson's dual-mode 5G Core provides SoftBank with capabilities
that enable the development of new 5G use cases for mobile
broadband users, as well as for enterprises and industry partners.
Ericsson and SoftBank have been continuously collaborating in
developing and deploying 5G technologies throughout the Japanese
market including 5G RAN and 5G EPC. In May
2019, Ericsson was selected by SoftBank as its primary 5G
radio access network (RAN) vendor.
Keiichi Makizono, Senior Vice President, CIO of SoftBank, says:
"Japan is a leading 5G telecom
market and together with Ericsson we are building a new platform of
innovation for the country. Under our new agreement, we will extend
our long-term partnership and provide a high quality and
future-proof platform enabling a new wave of innovation for
Japanese society."
Luca Orsini, Head of Ericsson
Japan, says: "Ericsson's cloud native dual-mode 5G Core provides
the cutting-edge container-based microservice architecture that
will help SoftBank to both develop new business models towards
consumers, enterprise and industry partners as well as to move onto
the next level of network operational efficiency."
Ericsson currently has 99 commercial 5G agreements or contracts
with unique operators and supports 54 live 5G networks
