- World's first demonstration of over 1Gbps 5G connection with
Citizen's Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum in an indoor
environment
- Seamless mobility between indoor and outdoor environment and
high data rate in 5G Standalone architecture
PLANO,
Texas, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) has successfully achieved a peak data rate of more
than 1Gbps for a single user device in a recent 5G Standalone (SA)
field trial. The trial was done over a live Citizen's Broadband
Radio Service (CBRS) multi-operator, neutral-host capable network
at the company's North American headquarters in Plano, Texas.
"We are excited to continue pushing the envelope of what is
possible with 5G. Ericsson is committed to continue bringing the
best technology to realize the full potential of 5G and CBRS early
to the market to further catalyze the use of these advanced
technologies," said Paul Challoner,
Vice President of Network Product Solutions for Ericsson North America
The OnGo Alliance coordinated the interoperability of the CBRS
ecosystem. The network where this trial took place is supported by
a 5G core network as part of the 5G Distributed Innovation Network
at Ericsson's facility in North
Texas. The network used the Radio 4408 for outdoor CBRS
connectivity and the Radio Dot 4459 for indoor CBRS connectivity.
Indoor coverage has been challenging for cellular networks, and
this is the first time that indoor, over-the-air coverage through a
shared spectrum has reached such a high data rate.
"Consumers and enterprises will benefit from the high-performing
5G CBRS technology that Ericsson is introducing," said Alan Ewing, Executive Director, OnGo Alliance.
"Ongoing improvements to 5G technology for the CBRS ecosystem
provide users with the highest performance and seamless
connectivity, whether deployed standalone or with operator
spectrum."
Key results of the field trial included:
- Single CBRS user connection over 1Gbps
- 5G SA connection with CBRS spectrum
- Seamless outdoor to indoor transitions
Ericsson Radio Dot 4459 is the latest addition to the Ericsson
Radio Dot portfolio. It is designed to support CBRS and C-band
deployments. The new CBRS indoor Radio Dot uses advanced radio
technologies such as 4x4 MIMO, 4G/5G mixed-mode operation,
leverages the entire CBRS band (150MHz) and supports up to five
component carrier aggregation (5CC) on 4G and 5G carriers of up to
100MHz.
Since its inception, CBRS as a shared spectrum has enabled
innovative use cases over cellular networks. Now, with demonstrable
5G gigabit speeds indoors and advanced capabilities, enterprises
can feel confident in deploying Private 5G networks with high
speeds plus the additional benefits that come with 5G, including
reliability, coverage, and mobility.
Communication service providers can also leverage CBRS for
supplemental capacity where needed, especially inside buildings and
venues with no added complexity. This also means neutral host
network operators can deploy the highest performing wireless
network, bringing superior coverage and capacity to their
enterprise and service provider clients.
This combination of 5G over CBRS will enable diverse new
applications for enterprises and sectors such as healthcare,
energy, and transportation. It will spur the proliferation of
private networks and further propel the Industry 4.0 evolution.
This capability complements Ericsson's 5G portfolio and underscores
the importance of CBRS spectrum to the development and maturation
of 5G.
