Ericsson has launched a 5G demo center in its own office in Kyiv to demonstrate scenarios for the use of fifth generation mobile networks for digitalization of various industries.
As noted in the company’s report, on the basis of the demo center, it is possible to test new developments and products, as well as services for both business and end users of mobile communications.
The main elements of 4G and 5G networks, an autonomous dedicated 5G network, which includes a small core, Router 6000 for IP connectivity and a radio access system using Ericsson Radio Dot System have been installed and fully integrated in the demo center.
“The network operability is ensured in a continuous mode [24/7]. This will allow conducting tests as soon as possible, supporting most possible scenarios and organizing demonstrations using this system,” the report says.
On the basis of the center, industrial enterprises, mobile operators, innovative start-ups, as well as other players in the telecom market will be able to familiarize themselves with and test 4G/5G solutions for both business and end users of mobile services.
“5G networks will serve as the foundation for the development of the digital economy in the future. High-quality digital infrastructure is needed by users, business and the economy of the state. By investing in the opening of a 5G demo center in Ukraine, we have combined international expertise and the latest solutions from Ericsson to open up new opportunities for the development of advanced technologies and digital innovations in the country,” Yaroslav Nitsak, Managing Director of Ericsson in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia, is quoted in the message.
According to the company, the center is open for the following purposes:
– demonstration of scenarios for using a dedicated 5G technological network, such as remote support, monitoring and control of the production process using continuous streaming of 360 video data in real time between objects;
– piloting of voice services of critical communication systems (Mission Critical Push-to-Talk) and demonstration of the work of the dispatch center, which monitors and controls the high priority emergency communication system;
– demonstration of the technological features of the fifth generation networks for mobile operators: network segmentation, high-speed data transmission, low latency;
– creation of a platform for piloting new developments and products using 5G modems for high-speed data transmission.
As reported earlier, the mobile operator Kyivstar switched to a new business IT system (billing) used for prepaid customers (over 80% of the operator’s client base), the solution was developed by the Swedish company Ericsson.
