- Deutsche Telekom chooses Ericsson for 5G Radio Access Network
(RAN) deployment after Ericsson delivers successful modernization
of their 2G/3G/4G networks
- Ericsson Radio System products and solutions will be used for
5G RAN deployment across Germany
for efficient and speedy rollout
- Deutsche Telekom will use Ericsson Spectrum Sharing to flexibly

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Deutsche Telekom AG, the largest
telecommunications service provider in Europe by revenue, have strengthened their
partnership with a new multi-year deal to deploy the service
provider's 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) across Germany.
According to the terms of the deal, several mobile sites will be
upgraded to the latest 5G technology standard over the next few
years using Ericsson Radio System products and solutions. The 5G
deal is in addition to a multi-RAN agreement as Deutsche Telekom
takes the next step following the successful joint modernization of
its 2G, 3G and 4G radio networks over the past two years.
The award-winning Ericsson Spectrum Sharing solution will also
be deployed, allowing Deutsche Telekom to dynamically manage 4G and
5G traffic in its network through efficient use of existing
spectrum, enhancing coverage, performance and mobility.
Claudia Nemat, Board Member for
Innovation and Technology, Deutsche Telekom AG, says: "We are
pleased to have found a leading 5G supplier in Ericsson as a
partner, who has also convinced us in the past in the modernization
of our mobile access network. After the reliable and on-time
modernization, the bar for the 5G roll-out in the antenna network
is naturally also high."
Arun Bansal, President of
Europe and Latin America, Ericsson, says: "This 5G deal
is a testament to the exceptional long-term partnership we have
forged with Deutsche Telekom, both here in Germany and around Europe. With our global experience and leading
technology, we'll deploy a world-class 5G network in Germany with DT and we're excited about this
next chapter in our relationship."
In addition to their cooperation in the field of public mobile
networks, the two companies also work closely together when it
comes to equipping industrial companies with private mobile
networks, so-called campus networks. Most recently, the partners
jointly equipped individual BMW and Osram plant sites.
