Ericsson: 15 Minutes with 5G

With 5G technology moving out of the lab and into the marketplace, the transport network must evolve in alignment with the 5G radio access and core networks. Now is the time for those transport networks to come out of the shadows and into the limelight. Listen to Ericsson expert Shane McClelland outline the requirements for transport in a fast-moving and synchronized network evolution to 5G. Laurie Spiegel talks to Shane McClelland (VP of Strategy for Transport Solutions in North America) about the three 5G RAN drivers of transport transformation.

Pam talks to Peter Linder about considerations in making the mobile core network ready for 5G. While we can’t possibly envision the host of applications that will leverage 5G in the future, we must nevertheless make a basic design choice: evolve from what we have today, or prepare for a more dedicated 5G core. Peter Linder, Business Development Director for Digital Services at Ericsson in North America, speaks on a broad range of topics, most currently 5G, cloud and network functions.

In this episode, we talk about the 5G revenue opportunity for operators that comes from industry digitalization. Our recent report showed that industry digitalization investments will generate an estimated USD 619 billion revenue opportunity for telecom operators by 2026, and operators can profit from up to an additional 36 percent revenue potential by 2026 from 5G-enabled market opportunities. Pam talks to Monika Byléhn, 5G Marketing Director at Ericsson about 5G enablement and the opportunities to apply this emerging technology to enhance the rollout of digitalization across 10 different industries. It’s about the industries that will lead in 5G, but additional considerations that operators should keep in mind for targeting specific industries are revealed.
