KISTA, Sweden, Sept. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ:
ERIC) 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core products and solutions
are powering Orange Spain's 5G services in Madrid and Barcelona, the nation's two largest cities,
following the communication service provider's September 7 nationwide commercial 5G launch.
Ericsson's initial 5G deployments in Madrid and Barcelona will be followed by other locations
under a four-year partnership to help Orange Spain develop its 5G
offering across Spain.
Operating on 3.6GHz spectrum, the 5G network in
Madrid and Barcelona is powered by the Ericsson
Radio System (Baseband 6648 and AIR 6488 antenna), delivering
Massive MIMO, a key technology that significantly increases network
capacity and spectral efficiency.
Ericsson also supplies Orange Spain with a 5G Evolved Packet
Core to support 5G New Radio non-standalone (NSA), including
control plane, user plane and policy network functions. These are
all parts of the Ericsson Cloud Core portfolio.
Enhanced mobile broadband and advanced gaming are expected to be
among the first benefits to be enjoyed by Orange Spain's customers
through the increased speed and lower latency enabled by 5G. The
technology platform will also enable innovation opportunities for
Orange Spain across business, industry, society and subscriber use
and business cases.
The 5G deployment with Orange Spain builds on a partnership with
Ericsson stretching back more than 20 years to the first generation
of mobile technology.
Arun Bansal, President of
Ericsson Europe and Latin America, says: "Ericsson's 5G technology
provides faster networks, much better mobile broadband experiences
to end users and gives mobile networks greater innovation
capabilities to meet future demands. Our core and radio portfolios
are instrumental in providing a sustainable platform for innovation
and economic growth in Spain.
Ericsson is thrilled to partner with Orange Spain to help them
capture the opportunities that 5G and related technologies will
bring to their subscribers and to industries."
Ericsson currently has 108 commercial 5G agreements and
contracts with unique communications service providers, of which 58
are publicly announced 5G deals, including 60 live commercial 5G
networks.
