TeliaSonera became the first in the world with 4G five years ago. This time collaborating TeliaSonera and Ericsson to become the first in Europe to deliver 5g services already 2018th
The premiere will this time take place in Stockholm and in the Estonian capital Tallinn.
Together with TeliaSonera we launched the first commercial 4G network in 2009, and we will be at the forefront even in terms 5g, says Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg, in a commentary in today’s press release.
TeliaSonera CEO Johan He Lind is where equally hopeful:
– Our ambition is to be at the forefront – always – to provide our customers and society at large the best that technology can provide. Stockholm and Tallinn are two of the world’s most connected cities, and now we take them to the next level.
The competition to become first in the world 5g has been going on for some time. To be first considered to give good advertisement for both the operator and supplier. Telia, Ericsson and Huawei has frequently used its world premiere for 4G in the marketing of its customers.
Several operators worldwide have already announced their 5g plans, despite the fact that their prime is several years ahead in time.
South Korea was the first to tell you that it focused on showcasing a 5g network in 2018, when the country has the Winter Olympics. Japanese NTT Docomo has promised a 5g network to the Summer Olympics in 2020.
Last fall was surprised by the mobile industry in the US operator Verizon announced an even more ambitious 5g bet. Verizon’s stated ambition is a commercial 5g-starting already 2017.
In the last week told nätchefen for the Swedish operator Three in Ny Teknik that plans 5g admittedly not as concrete yet, but she anticipates the possibility of having 5g by 2020.
And today thus presents Telia’s plans to 5g premiere already 2018th
Neither Telia and Ericsson talk in the press release on a “commercial 5g-launch”, which they did before 4G premiären- This time promises they “5g-service experiences already in 2018″.
Charlotta Sund, Head of Northern Europe and Central Asia at Ericsson, says:
– The border between 4g and 5g are not as sharp as the previous mobile generation. So therefore it will not be as easy to determine “who will be the first”. The standard is complete until 2020, but different parts of the world will showcase various types of 5g services before, she says.
How extensive 5g will be in Stockholm and Talinn 2018 can not Charlotta Sund tell. The planning starts only now.
According to Ericsson, the equipment that Telia use their 5g services in 2018 also include the new 5g-radio interface, which Ericsson developed and dubbed NX.
” There will be a pre-commercial 5g net, where the technology based on the progress made in 5g standardization process, although standardization is not finished, “writes Ericsson to new technologies.
Standard Work 5g is not expected be finished until in 2020. Therefore, many in the mobile industry wrinkled his nose at the operators’ early 5g plans.
– Japan is perhaps the one that runs on hardened to have a commercial 5g network ready for the Summer Olympics 2020. Korea can not possibly make it to 2018. They will surely be able to show some experiments with 5g, but have no commercial networks, said Magnus Frodigh, with responsibility for Ericsson 5g research, such as the New Technology of summer.
– The big commercial rollout comes first in 2021, he predicted the time.
According to Ericsson’s latest forecast, which was presented at the end of last year, there will be 150 million 5g subscribers in 2021.
