It is fierce battle over who will be the first 5g in Europe. Telia was the first when the fourth-generation mobile communications launched. Now the operator together with Ericsson to offer customers in Stockholm and Tallinn that “experience 5g services” already in 2018. That’s according to a common move that was made on Friday.
But how extensive a 5g networks will be, how wide the spread is or how usage may look like there are no clear answers.
– Meaning of 5g is that we will be able to support services that today’s networks can not. As we build out 5g, we proceed from the users, and depending on what the services are and where they are geographically will be offered, we can manage to reach many customers already in 2018, says Mats Svärdh, director of network and IT infrastructure at TeliaSonera.
scope will therefore depend on the services and their demands on the technology. How major changes required in the radio network affects how 5g will be rolled out geographically. Conversely, the services cope with 4.5g network can scale become larger and thus spread.
Therefore’re talking companies that “experience” 5g, it is not about broad launch of a new generation of mobile communication technology . The services they mention, for instance, in e-health. Another is self-propelled vehicles, which requires that there are no delays in the network. The same goes for the internet of things. When the sensors become more Stronger and faster networks. All these are examples of how the service puts requirements for the development of new technologies, says Mats Svärdh.
Standard of 5g comes first in 2020 and there are many companies that are inside and fight the market. Several operators have flagged their 5g releases. South Korea has said it has a 5g networks in any form ready for the Winter Olympics in 2018. Kaxigast is US operator Verizon to set a target date in 2017. However, this is something that raised some skeptical voices.

Ericsson’s latest forecast predicts that by 2021 there will be 150 million 5g subscription. And competition for customers is fierce. But it would involve mostly telefonabonneng Mats Svärdh not convinced.
- We believe that there will be a large demand already in 2018. And it is important to say that what is happening now is part of the digitization of society, it affects all companies and industries, and in which we participate. This will be another step, he says.
For example, in addition to smart phones and apps, he mentions mines where the risks for humans are too big. In those cases, you can instead control the machines remotely. Telia’s goal is to reduce the delay to a millisecond.
But is not today’s announcement is important for marketing purposes as well?
- Well, I think it is important to mention that we are having, we have these ambitions and that we work with technology. But it also puts pressure on the business to perform, he says.
What are we going to see in 2018?
- We have not been so specific, that is why we talk about the experience. It depends on how far we have come in the development. 2 and 3G was launched as a new technology. Now it’s services launches, then 5g, says Mats Svärdh.
