Sprint and Ericsson to demonstrate live high-speed Gigabit-Class data speeds over LTE TDD - Seite 2

Glenn Laxdal, Head of Network Products, Ericsson North America, says: "Sprint has been able to evolve its LTE Plus network to support and exceed its customers' growing need for speed and capacity. Our Gigabit LTE TDD demonstration has given us an opportunity to show how we will co-create a fantastic Sprint customer experience by enabling the use of next-generation technology and applications."

Ericsson and Sprint will also be working together to test 5G technologies such as Massive-MIMO for LTE TDD using Ericsson's next-generation 5G-ready radio (AIR6468) with Sprint during the second half of 2017. 

Ericsson is present today in all high traffic LTE markets including US, Japan, and South Korea, and is ranked first for handling the most global LTE traffic. In addition, forty percent of the world's total mobile traffic is carried over Ericsson networks. More than 270 LTE RAN and Evolved Packet Core networks have been delivered by Ericsson worldwide, of which over 200 are live commercially.

The joint demonstration will be held daily at Mobile World Congress in the Ericsson Booth in Hall 2 in Fira Gran Via from February 27 to March 2, 2017.
