Letter from the publisher
As market after market switches on 5G, we are at a truly momentous point
in time. No previous generation of mobile technology has had the potential
to drive economic growth to the extent that 5G promises. It goes beyond
connecting people to fully realizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and the
Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Digital infrastructure can make distance less relevant than ever.
5G is the key to making it all work – driving economic value from enhanced
mobile broadband to industry digitalization. That, in turn, will require an
ecosystem of technology, regulatory, security and industry partners to deliver
on the potential. Smart cities, Industrial IoT, augmented reality, autonomous
transport and digital health are just some of the exciting prospects that can
be made real with the support of the 5G ecosystem.
In this edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, we go beyond the forecast
numbers and, in three co-written articles, present a glimpse of the impressive
progress happening in markets on the verge of deploying 5G:
– With Telstra in Australia, we explore how to manage the ever-growing
demand for data and video, while maintaining consumer experience,
particularly for live content streaming.
– With MTS in Russia, we describe how mobile networks must evolve to ensure
network performance that meets customer experience expectations, as well
as enabling new services when preparing for 5G.
– With Turkcell in Turkey, we look into managing network performance and
service offerings in a successful fixed wireless access (FWA) implementation.
As 5G is switched on in country after country, the significance of this
technology for all sectors of society will become increasingly apparent.
I hope you find the report engaging and useful!
