5G Network

5G is here. 5G is maturing and 5G is delivering upon the promises it made. But, 5G has more
potential to realize. Ericsson supports our Communication Service Providers with the most robust
and high performing 5G network solutions while planning for future network topologies and
ideologies.

Commercial 5G networks are going live around the world - and Ericsson technology is leading the
way. First movers can reshape the market and increase market share and revenue streams.
Combining improved capacity with increased cost-efficiency 5G represents an opportunity for
telecom operators to improve their consumer business. 5G also allows operators to explore new use
cases and business models and capture new revenue streams through addressing industry
digitalization.

5G is about connecting things everywhere while enabling new use cases. A 5G Radio Access
Network (RAN) uses 5G radio frequencies to provide wireless connectivity to devices to deliver these
incredible applications.

New 5G use cases will deliver new revenue streams for CSPs and new connectivity opportunities for
subscribers. These use cases include:

Cloud gaming

AR/VR

Autonomous driving

Fixed Wireless Access

In order to deliver these use cases, the Radio Access Network consists of antennas, radios, baseband
(RAN Compute), and RAN software to enable incredible speeds and mobility.

Ericsson offers both a purpose-built portfolio and a Cloud RAN portfolio for 5G – offering CSPs
flexibility when rolling out networks world-wide.
