Ericsson Radios Series
Ericsson has used tailor made System on a Chip (SoC) for RAN Compute processing for many years. The constant improvements of this technology have given Ericsson tremendous improvements of the RAN Compute portfolio when it comes to flexibility, capacity, and power efficiency.
The Ericsson RAN Compute products powered by Ericsson Silicon provides the following CSP values:
- Smallest footprint: Majority of configurations are supported in one rack unit (1U)
- Lowest power consumption: RAN Compute has the lowest power consumption in industry benchmarks.
- Optimal site solutions: Indoor (DRAN, CRAN), outdoor (zero footprint) and integrated (Street Macro) are supported.
- Fewer site visits: Spectrum re-farming from 2G, 3G to 4G, 5G and Ericsson Spectrum sharing can be handled by remote reconfiguration.Â
- Future proof: Ericsson Silicon is very flexible and has high capacity which enable RAN Compute to support network evolution plans over many years.
- Time to market (TTM) advantage: Many new capabilities can be quickly rolled out in the network by software upgrades. (5G SW upgradable since 2015)Â
Our customers can be sure that they can get the best value from their precious spectrum assets while re-using existing sites as much as possible. They can in turn, deliver enormous benefits to their customers with super-fast and reliable 5G service, achieving the highest quality and best 5G user experience possible.
Network traffic continues to grow exponentially with more and more 5G and fixed wireless access (FWA) subscriptions, and the demands on uplink continue to increase. To ensure that the scaling of uplink keeps pace with this demand, the next wave of 5G deployments will focus on expanding mid-band TDD (time division duplex) and improving performance by utilizing Massive MIMO FDD (frequency division duplex) or radios with 8 receivers. Â
This will make sure that mobile broadband (MBB) performance is maintained while preparing the network for 5G Advanced applications such as extended reality (XR) that require greater uplink capacities.
Communications service providers (CSPs) need to densify their networks in both distributed and centralized deployments while minimizing their site footprints and energy consumption. Added to this, automation and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) will be key to maximizing operational and energy efficiency as CSPs are looking to reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO).
As part of this launch, we are enabling CSPs to utilize the full value of 5G, to build for 5G Advanced and open networks, as well as helping them towards their Net Zero goals.
