Ericsson unveils software toolkit to bolster 5G network capabilities
Summary
Ericsson has launched a new software toolkit designed to help communications service providers (CSPs) cater to greater demands on network capacity and performance, as mobile user expectations on the quality of 5G skyrocket. Use cases such as gaming, video conferencing, live broadcasting, remote-controlled machines/vehicles, and so forth are putting higher requirements on the network to deliver differentiated performance levels, the company said. Specifically, the new toolkit offers the following capabilities: • None (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) – software algorithms allowing for smoother introduction of new services requiring high reliability and low latency. • None Improved consistent low latency capabilities of Time-Critical Communication for superior quality of experience even during network congestion and under poor radio conditions. In an interview with IT World Canada, Erik Ekudden, Ericsson’s Group chief technical officer, also addressed the rising data connectivity needs as artificial intelligence continues to boom.
