Ericsson embarks on joint 5G research with KT
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson signs MoU with KT for collaboration on technologies related to
next-generation networks at Mobile World Congress
* Ericsson and KT will collaborate in diverse areas including 5G network
architecture, small cells and heterogeneous networks, and massive
connectivity for IoT
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
KT, South Korea's leading telecoms provider, for collaboration on technologies
related to next-generation networks, during Mobile World Congress 2015 in
Barcelona, Spain.
In the MoU, Ericsson and KT agree to explore collaboration in the fields of
research and development in 5G wireless communication and relevant business.
The two companies selected collaboration items to lead the 5G evolution,
including: standardization, spectrum strategy, network architecture and
deployment scenarios, and massive connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Thomas Norén, Vice President and Head of Radio Product Management, Ericsson,
says: "5G will be a key component in the industry's movement toward the
Networked Society. KT is an early driver of technology, and we believe that the
collaboration with KT will provide benefits to users and to industries. With
ultra-high bit rates of more than 10 Gbps, we will deliver radio network
capability of more than 1,000 times today's LTE networks."
Even before signing the MoU, the two companies have worked closely together to
prepare for the era of 5G, for example by successfully verifying heterogeneous
network carrier aggregation technology, a key element of 5G, in November 2014.
Ericsson leads or is active in approximately 150 industry fora, standardization
bodies and global research activities such as METIS and 5G-PPP. Ericsson is one
of the key players in defining the next generation of network technologies, all
the way from research through to standardization and commercialization.
