📋 Tender Overview
Ericssonhas successfully achieved a peak data rate of more than 1Gbps for a single user device in a recent 5G Standalone SA field trial. The trial was done over a live Citizens Broadband Radio Service CBRS multi-operator neutral-host capable network at the companys North American headquarters in Plano Texas.We are excited to continue pushing the envelope of what is possible with 5G. Ericsson is committed to continue bringing the best technology to realize the full potential of 5G and CBRS early to the market to further catalyze the use of these advanced technologies said Paul Challoner Vice President of Network Product Solutions for Ericsson North AmericaThe OnGo Alliance coordinated the interoperability of the CBRS ecosystem. The network where this trial took place is supported by a 5G core network as part of the 5G Distributed Innovation Network at Ericssons facility in North Texas. The network used the Radio 4408 for outdoor CBRS connectivity and the Radio Dot 4459 for indoor CBRS connectivity. Indoor coverage has been challenging for cellular networks and this is the first time that indoor over-the-air coverage through a shared spectrum has reached such a high data rate.Consumers and enterprises will benefit from the high-performing 5G CBRS technology that Ericsson is introducing said Alan Ewing Executive Director OnGo Alliance. Ongoing improvements to 5G technology for the CBRS ecosystem provide users with the highest performance and seamless connectivity whether deployed standalone or with operator spectrum. Key results of the field trial includedSingle CBRS user connection over 1Gbps5G SA connection with CBRS spectrumSeamless outdoor to indoor transitionsEricsson Radio Dot 4459 is the latest addition to the Ericsson Radio Dot portfolio. It is designed to support CBRS and C-band deployments. The new CBRS indoor Radio Dot uses advanced radio technologies such as 4x4 MIMO 4G5G mixed-mode operation leverages the entire CBRS band 150MHz and supports up to five component carrier aggregation 5CC on 4G and 5G carriers of up to 100MHz.Since its inception CBRS as a shared spectrum has enabled innovative use cases over cellular networks. Now with demonstrable 5G gigabit speeds indoors and advanced capabilities enterprises can feel confident in deploying Private 5G networks with high speeds plus the additional benefits that come with 5G including reliability coverage and mobility.Communication service providers can also leverage CBRS for supplemental capacity where needed especially inside buildings and venues with no added complexity. This also means neutral host network operators can deploy the highest performing wireless network bringing superior coverage and capacity to their enterprise and service provider clients.This combination of 5G over CBRS will enable diverse new applications for enterprises and sectors such as healthcare energy and transportation. It will spur the proliferation of private networks and further propel the Industry 4.0 evolution. This capability complements Ericssons 5G portfolio and underscores the importance of CBRS spectrum to the development and maturation of 5G.
