STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 2 days ago Ericsson has expanded its indoor 5G portfolio as advanced indoor connectivity continues to propel new 5G use cases in locations such as airports, offices, factories and stadiums, meeting communications service providers’ indoor 5G needs. The new additions include Ericsson Indoor AIR 1279 and Ericsson Radio Dot 4459 small-cell radio and Ericsson Indoor Connect, a support offering for multi-operator and multi-vendor scenarios. Jessey Huang, Head of Ericsson’s Indoor Product Line, said: “The quality of 5G service indoors is equally important to Ericsson as the user experience outdoors. We know what a differentiator great indoor 5G experiences are to subscribers, enterprise and industry. Therefore, we want our customers to be able to deliver that – in the best way possible.
For a few days this week, Ericsson was able to boast a key technical advantage over Huawei, its longstanding nemesis. The Swedish vendor s new 5G radio unit, featuring 64 transmitters and receivers, weighed in at just 20 kilograms when it entered the boxing ring of the mobile infrastructure market. That was 45% less than its predecessor and 5 kilograms lighter than Huawei s equivalent, which had previously set the benchmark.
It has turned out to be a short-lived advantage. Just days later, at MWC Shanghai, Huawei showed off an even lighter unit. Like Ericsson s, it is an advanced massive MIMO unit with 64 transmitters and receivers. But at 19 kilograms, according to Huawei, it is precisely 1 kilogram less than the Swedish version. It is as if Huawei knowing what Ericsson had planned made an extra effort to spoil any Swedish celebrations and regain the title.
