Ericsson launches time-critical communication for real-time 5G experiences
Summary
Ericsson has enabled time-critical communication through its new critical IoT product – easily deployable as a software upgrade on public and private 5G networks, in wide and local areas, on any 5G frequency band. Per Narvinger, head of product area networks, says: “Ericsson continues to introduce innovative 5G solutions that fuel the global uptake of 5G. Many emerging use cases are time-critical in nature, demanding the guarantee of consistent low latency and highly reliable performance, currently not possible in today’s 4G and 5G networks. Ericsson has also reached a new milestone with MediaTek by proving that 5G can deliver 1ms consistent low latency with 99.99 percent reliability in both uplink and downlink on mmWave band. The ability to deliver consistent low latency with high reliability will be crucial for wirelessly connecting XR, sensors, controllers, and actuators – boosting productivity and efficiency of industrial operations.” Patrick Filkins, research manager, IoT and Telecom Network Infrastructure, IDC, says: “This Ericsson 5G innovation will inject a much-needed boost to both public and private 5G network initiatives.
