STOCKHOLM, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) has entered into a long-term strategic 5G contract
with Indian communications service provider (CSP) Reliance Jio
Infocomm Ltd. (Jio) to roll out 5G Standalone (SA) in the
country.
The announcement follows the allocation of 5G spectrum in the
recently concluded auctions in India. This is the first partnership between
Jio and Ericsson for radio access network deployment in the
country.
Announcing the partnership, Akash
Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio, says: "We are delighted to
partner with Ericsson for Jio's 5G SA rollout. Jio transformed the
digital landscape in India with
the launch of LTE services in 2016. We are confident that Jio's 5G
network will accelerate India's
digitalization and will serve as the foundation for
achieving our nation's `Digital India' vision."
Jio's Standalone 5G network deployment represents a major
technology leap since it modernizes the network infrastructure to
deliver a truly transformative 5G experience to consumers and
enterprises. The capabilities of 5G SA are expected to drive
innovation and build a robust 5G ecosystem and deliver advanced
services.
Ericsson's energy-efficient 5G Radio Access Network (RAN)
products and solutions (from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio)
and E-band microwave mobile transport solutions will be deployed in
the 5G network for Jio.
All products and solutions are deployed on new-build 5G SA
networks, designed to maximize the benefits of 5G to CSPs and their
customers - whether individual subscribers or enterprise and
industry customers.
Börje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, says: "India is building world-class digital
infrastructure that will drive innovation, job creation and
entrepreneurship across the country. We are happy to partner with
Jio in those ambitions, through Ericsson 5G Standalone
connectivity, which will be a major catalyst in meeting those
digital transformation goals across society, enterprise and
industry."
