Russia’s MTS has selected Ericsson for 5G modernisation. According to a post by Ericsson will supply MTS with Ericsson Radio System products and solutions for modernisation of several thousand Sites across 16 districts in central Russia. The project will continue until 2026.
Ericsson’s solutions will significantly increase the performance and capacity of MTS’ network, enabling the service provider to quickly deploy 5G coverage and services on existing network infrastructure. Enhanced AI solutions integrated across Ericsson’s portfolio will also improve network performance, as well as our network performance subscription service that includes predictive analytics to reduce critical incidents and Ericsson Cognitive Planning and Optimization software to improve the overall network and user experience.
As the key enabler of this capability, Ericsson Spectrum Sharing technology will allow the service provider to easily switch on 5G through remote software installation using existing frequency bands and infrastructure. Enhanced AI solutions integrated across Ericsson’s portfolio will also improve network performance, as well as the Ericsson Network Performance Subscription Service with predictive analytics for MTS’ network technical support.
